Based on the discussion on the mailing list, we remove the special
casing of zombie processes.

Note we don't use kill -0 since that has a different meaning than "check
process is alive", so this function is still linux-specific.

In case the process we want to signal is our own process, and the signal
we send is a deadly one, we should also cleanup after the process.

This patch adds a new parameter waitpid to this function that does this,
and changes its unittest to pass this new parameter.

As can be seen from the patch, we remove from the locking manager
inst.name. However, we do this right after cfg.RenameInstance, which
changes inst.name to the new name. So we need to remove old_name not
the new name.

The real question is why does the glm allow me to remove a not-existing
instance name...

The symptom before the patch was: run rename, then:
$ gnt-instance list
Unhandled protocol error while talking to the master daemon:

Commit 1881 changed a rpc call but didn't fix all its users. This should

In order to replace usage of the shell just for 'cd %s; ...' we need to
be able to specify the working directory for childs.

The patch also changes the default working directory (when not
specified) to "/", as opposed to the current dir; since the daemos run
with cwd=/ anyway, this should not change things.

While working on the HTTP client class, I wanted to use Mainloop
before deciding to use threads instead.

- Add docstrings
- Rename "quit" to "running", move it to a local variable
- Support adding and removing I/O listeners while running
  (e.g. to add/remove listeners from OnIO(…) calls)
- Allow user of the class to disable signal handlers
- Flag to exit once all listeners are gone

This is an expected error message and will be used in two places.

It is based on the WorkerPool class which is already used for the job
queue and master daemon. Each request must be encapsulated in an
instance of HttpClientRequest, which will then be passed to
HttpClientManager for processing. Upon completion, the request object
contains the response or error message.

While not yet enabled, the HTTP client implementation has been designed
with HTTP/1.1 and keep-alive in mind. For now it only uses HTTP/1.0,
though.

HttpClientManager will likely need more changes when integrating with
the RPC layer. SSL will also be integrated in a second step.

Currently we launch processes via the shell in a few places only to
redirect standard output and error to a log file ("&> $file"). It is
better to do such redirection from within RunCmd itself.

This patch splits RunCmd in two parts, the setup and the execution part,
the latter being implemented in two different functions depending on
whether we write to a file or not.

We also update the unittests with this new case.
