[PATCH 1/1] os: added the -sigstop option for Upstart (or equivalent) startup.

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