New APIs: set-pgroup, get-pgroup

If the pgroup flag is set in the handle, then the qemu and recovery
subprocesses are placed in separate process groups.  The default is
false.

The purpose for setting up a process group is that ^C will not be
passed from the main process down to these processes (killing them).
This allows ^C and other keyboard events to be caught and handled in
the main process.
