When stdout/stderr is closed prematurely, the proxy's writes to stdout/stderr
(i.e. `log.Errorf/log.Printf`) will returns with EPIPE error, and go runtime
will terminate the proxy when stdout/stderr writes trigger 10 EPIPE errors.
instead of using stdout/stderr as the status handler, we pass an extra file to
the child process and write `0\n` or `1\nerror message` to it and close it
after. This allow the child process to handle stdout/stderr as normal.

This PR moves the userland proxies for TCP and UDP traffic out of the
main docker daemon's process ( from goroutines per proxy ) to be a
separate reexec of the docker binary. This reduces the cpu and memory
needed by the daemon and if the proxy processes crash for some reason
the daemon is unaffected. This also displays in the standard process
tree so that a user can clearly see if there is a userland proxy that is
bound to a certain ip and port.

This also helps us to cleanly cleanup the proxy processes by stopping
these commands instead of trying to terminate a goroutine.
