Kernel.cpuClockTicker increments kernel.cpuClock, which tasks use as a clock to
track their CPU usage. This improves latency in the syscall path by avoid
expensive monotonic clock calls on every syscall entry/exit.
However, this timer fires every 10ms. Thus, when all tasks are idle (i.e.,
blocked or stopped), this forces a sentry wakeup every 10ms, when we may
otherwise be able to sleep until the next app-relevant event. These wakeups
cause the sentry to utilize approximately 2% CPU when the application is
otherwise idle.
Updates to clock are not strictly necessary when the app is idle, as there are
no readers of cpuClock. This commit reduces idle CPU by disabling the timer
when tasks are completely idle, and computing its effects at the next wakeup.
Rather than disabling the timer as soon as the app goes idle, we wait until the
next tick, which provides a window for short sleeps to sleep and wakeup without
doing the (relatively) expensive work of disabling and enabling the timer.

Adresses a deadlock with the rolled back change:
b6a5b950d2
Creating a session from an orphaned process group was causing a lock to be
acquired twice by a single goroutine. This behavior is addressed, and a test
(OrphanRegression) has been added to pty.cc.
Implemented the following ioctls:
- TIOCSCTTY - set controlling TTY
- TIOCNOTTY - remove controlling tty, maybe signal some other processes
- TIOCGPGRP - get foreground process group. Also enables tcgetpgrp().
- TIOCSPGRP - set foreground process group. Also enabled tcsetpgrp().
Next steps are to actually turn terminal-generated control characters (e.g. C^c)
into signals to the proper process groups, and to send SIGTTOU and SIGTTIN when
appropriate.

This allows tasks to have distinct mount namespace, instead of all sharing the
kernel's root mount namespace.
Currently, the only way for a task to get a different mount namespace than the
kernel's root is by explicitly setting a different MountNamespace in
CreateProcessArgs, and nothing does this (yet).
In a follow-up CL, we will set CreateProcessArgs.MountNamespace when creating a
new container inside runsc.
Note that "MountNamespace" is a poor term for this thing. It's more like a
distinct VFS tree. When we get around to adding real mount namespaces, this
will need a better naem.

This reduces the number of goroutines and runtime timers when
ITIMER_VIRTUAL or ITIMER_PROF are enabled, or when RLIMIT_CPU is set.
This also ensures that thread group CPU timers only advance if running
tasks are observed at the time the CPU clock advances, mostly
eliminating the possibility that a CPU timer expiration observes no
running tasks and falls back to the group leader.
