eldritch horrors b6c8f412a2 libstore: generalize linux vfork infra to also allow exec'ing
we'll use this to run programs from a vforked child instead of using
runProgram. ideally we would like to have runProgram be as efficient
as possible, but our mount namespace handling makes this harder than
is worth dealing with right now. the linux derivation goal is a good
place to prototype functionality like this, especially since we need
fine control over credentials and file descriptor tables of children
