procutil: always waiting on child processes to prevent zombies with 'hg serve'

When runbgcommand is invoked by an extension with ensurestart=False, we never
called waitpid - which is fine in most cases, except if that's happening on a
command server (e.g. chg), in which case the child defunct process will just
sit there for as long as the server is running.

The actual semantics of SIGCHLD signal handling is a lot more complex than
it seems, and the POSIX standard *seems* to read that it's ignored by default
and everything would just work without the waitpid if we're not listening for
it, but the truth is that it's only ignored if we *explicitly* set it to
SIG_IGN. We further cannot set it to SIG_IGN or to a catch-all handler across
all of 'hg serve', because Python's suprocess.Popen relies on that signal,
and a few specific parts of hg also set custom handlers, so instead we wait
for specific PIDs in dedicated threads.

I did a poor-man's benchmark of the thread creation and it seems to take
about 1ms, which is way better than the 20+ms from ensurestart=True.

'''http authentication with factotum

This extension allows the factotum(4) facility on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms to provide authentication information for HTTP access. Configuration
entries specified in the auth section as well as authentication information
provided in the repository URL are fully supported. If no prefix is specified,
a value of "*" will be assumed.

By default, keys are specified as::

  proto=pass service=hg prefix=<prefix> user=<username> !password=<password>

If the factotum extension is unable to read the required key, one will be
requested interactively.

A configuration section is available to customize runtime behavior. By
default, these entries are::

  [factotum]
  executable = /bin/auth/factotum
  mountpoint = /mnt/factotum
  service = hg

The executable entry defines the full path to the factotum binary. The
mountpoint entry defines the path to the factotum file service. Lastly, the
service entry controls the service name used when reading keys.
