Add pid host support

Tested using global-net-plugin-ipc which sets PidHost in config.json.

Plugins might need access to host pid namespace. Add support for that.
Tested using aragunathan/global-net-plugin-ipc which sets "pidhost" in
config.json. Observed using `readlink /proc/self/ns/pid` that plugin and
host have the same ns.
