this allows us great flexibility in how children are launched (since the actual launching is done by a separate executable), makes fork no longer needed in the core codebase (outside of runProgram, anyway), and we even get to use linux vfork to its full potential to decrease the launch cost of sandboxes to a constant factor (previously it was O(#drvs + #deps) of the build graph, which obviously goes to n² quickly if you are unlucky.)
