    libxl: fork: Provide libxl_childproc_sigchld_occurred
    
    Applications exist which don't keep track of all their child processes
    in a manner suitable for coherent dispatch of their termination.  In
    such a situation, nothing in the whole process may call wait, or
    waitpid(-1,,).  Doing so reaps processes belonging to other parts of
    the application and there is then no way to deliver the exit status to
    the right place.
    
    To facilitate this, provide a facility for such an application to ask
    libxl to call waitpid on each of its children individually.
