Fixing isolated process PID manipulation.

Registering an isolated PID in the global PID hash is wrong
because it can be duplicated. Isolated processes are stored only
in the children list until the response for the WHOAMI message is
processed and the global PID is discovered.

To remove isolated siblings, a pointer to the children list is
introduced in the nxt_process_init_t struct.

This closes #633 issue on GitHub.

Fixing prototype process crash.

A prototype stores linked application processes structures. When an
application process terminates, it's removed from the list. To avoid double
removal, the pointer to the next element should be set to NULL.

Sending shared port to application prototype.

Application process started with shared port (and queue) already configured.
But still waits for PORT_ACK message from router to start request processing
(so-called "ready state").

Waiting for router confirmation is necessary. Otherwise, the application may
produce response and send it to router before the router have the information
about the application process. This is a subject of further optimizations.

Moving file descriptor blocking to libunit.

The default libunit behavior relies on blocking the recv() call for port file
descriptors, which an application may override if needed. For external
applications, port file descriptors were toggled to blocking mode before the
exec() call. If the exec() call failed, descriptor remained blocked, so the
process hanged while trying to read from it.

This patch moves file descriptor mode switch inside libunit.

Fixing main and application port structs file descriptor init.

Correct value for non-initialized file descriptor is -1, because most of the
checks in libunit compares file descriptor with -1 before performing an
action. Using 0 as default value, may cause to close file descriptor #0, this
may affect application logic.

It is not required to list this patch in changelog because impact is not seen

Refactor of process management.

The process abstraction has changed to:

setup(task, process)
start(task, process_data)
prefork(task, process, mp)

The prefork() occurs in the main process right before fork.

The file src/nxt_main_process.c is completely free of process
specific logic.

The creation of a process now supports a PROCESS_CREATED state. The
The setup() function of each process can set its state to either
created or ready. If created, a MSG_PROCESS_CREATED is sent to main
process, where external setup can be done (required for rootfs under
container).

The core processes (discovery, controller and router) doesn't need
external setup, then they all proceeds to their start() function
straight away.

In the case of applications, the load of the module happens at the
process setup() time and The module's init() function has changed
to be the start() of the process.

The module API has changed to:

setup(task, process, conf)
start(task, data)

As a direct benefit of the PROCESS_CREATED message, the clone(2) of
processes using pid namespaces now doesn't need to create a pipe
to make the child block until parent setup uid/gid mappings nor it
needs to receive the child pid.

Enabled body buffer shared memory segmentation.

Changeset #699 fixes shared memory allocation: continous buffer with
requested size should be allocated or function failed. For body longer
than 10 Mb, this allocation will definitely fails.

For body buffer it is not required to send it in a single continous buffer,
so, need to request minimum reasonable amount of shared memory and try to
extend it, if possible or allocate next buffer.
