/* Starting a program that dies with the process that started it.

* `flan run` builds a program, runs it and deletes it. A flan killed by
* SIGKILL runs nothing on the way out, so without this the program would go on
* running with nobody waiting for it. On Linux the child asks the kernel for
* SIGKILL when its parent dies, between the fork and the exec; elsewhere it is
* an ordinary fork and exec.
