nsenter: guarantee correct user namespace ordering

Depending on your SELinux setup, the order in which you join namespaces
can be important. In general, user namespaces should *always* be joined
and unshared first because then the other namespaces are correctly
pinned and you have the right priviliges within them. This also is very
useful for rootless containers, as well as older kernels that had
essentially broken unshare(2) and clone(2) implementations.

This also includes huge refactorings in how we spawn processes for
complicated reasons that I don't want to get into because it will make
me spiral into a cloud of rage. The reasoning is in the giant comment in
clone_parent. Have fun.

In addition, because we now create multiple children with CLONE_PARENT,
we cannot wait for them to SIGCHLD us in the case of a death. Thus, we
have to resort to having a child kindly send us their exit code before
they die. Hopefully this all works okay, but at this point there's not
much more than we can do.
