[PATCH v3 1/1] os: added the -upstart option for Upstart's signaling method.

This is very similar to the RunFromSmartParent (implicit) option, except
we do not send the signal to our parent process, but our own process
instead, and that signal is SIGSTOP, not SIGUSR1.

Upstart will detect this, realize that we are ready to accept clients
now, send us SIGCONT and move our job status from SPAWNED to RUNNING.

v3: resend patch because it seems to have been idle for some time...
    - changed kill(getpid()) to raise().
