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.

Ruby: process and thread lifecycle hooks.

This feature allows one to specify blocks of code that are called when certain
lifecycle events occur. A user configures a "hooks" property on the app
configuration that points to a script. This script will be evaluated on boot
and should contain blocks of code that will be called on specific events.

An example of configuration:

{
"type": "ruby",
"processes": 2,
"threads": 2,
"user": "vagrant",
"group": "vagrant",
"script": "config.ru",
"hooks": "hooks.rb",
"working_directory": "/home/vagrant/unit/rbhooks",
"environment": {
"GEM_HOME": "/home/vagrant/.ruby"
}
}

An example of a valid "hooks.rb" file follows:

File.write("./hooks.#{Process.pid}", "hooks evaluated")

on_worker_boot do
File.write("./worker_boot.#{Process.pid}", "worker booted")
end

on_thread_boot do
File.write("./thread_boot.#{Process.pid}.#{Thread.current.object_id}",
"thread booted")
end

on_thread_shutdown do
File.write("./thread_shutdown.#{Process.pid}.#{Thread.current.object_id}",
"thread shutdown")
end

on_worker_shutdown do
File.write("./worker_shutdown.#{Process.pid}", "worker shutdown")
end

This closes issue #535 on GitHub.

Added "rootfs" feature.

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 rig

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.

Fixed processing of SERVER_NAME after 77aad2c142a0.

Previously, the nxt_router_prepare_msg() function expected server host among
other headers unmodified. It's not true anymore since normalization of the
Host header has been introduced in 77aad2c142a0.

The nxt_unit_split_host() function was removed. It didn't work correctly with
IPv6 literals. Anyway, after 77aad2c142a0 the port splitting is done in router
while Host header processing.
