Cory Snider 1f22b15030 Lock OS threads when exec'ing with Pdeathsig
On Linux, when (os/exec.Cmd).SysProcAttr.Pdeathsig is set, the signal
will be sent to the process when the OS thread on which cmd.Start() was
executed dies. The runtime terminates an OS thread when a goroutine
exits after being wired to the thread with runtime.LockOSThread(). If
other goroutines are allowed to be scheduled onto a thread which called
cmd.Start(), an unrelated goroutine could cause the thread to be
terminated and prematurely signal the command. See
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27505 for more information.

Prevent started subprocesses with Pdeathsig from getting signaled
prematurely by wiring the starting goroutine to the OS thread until the
subprocess has exited. No other goroutines can be scheduled onto a
locked thread so it will remain alive until unlocked or the daemon
process exits.

reexec

The reexec package facilitates the busybox style reexec of the docker binary that we require because of the forking limitations of using Go. Handlers can be registered with a name and the argv 0 of the exec of the binary will be used to find and execute custom init paths.
