a9245bae00 alcove: sandbox for erlang ports
alcove acts a proxy between the Erlang VM and a forked process. It can
enforce restrictions on the child process, such as dropping privileges,
setting resource limits and chroot'ing.

The goal is to support Linux namespaces, seccomp mode and cgroups so
the port process can run in an application container.

alcove should be portable though and a subset of the features should
work on any unix, possibly even supporting the sandboxing mechanisms on
other platforms.
