Sasha Klizhentas 68b65f5b24 Teleport signal handling and live reload.
This commit introduces signal handling.
Parent teleport process is now capable of forking
the child process and passing listeners file descriptors
to the child.

Parent process then can gracefully shutdown
by tracking the amount of current connections and
closing listeners once the amount goes to 0.

Here are the signals handled:

* USR2 signal will cause the parent to fork
a child process and pass listener file descriptors to it.
Child process will close unused file descriptors
and will bind to the used ones.

At this moment two processes - the parent
and the forked child process will be serving requests.
After looking at the traffic and the log files,
administrator can either shut down the parent process
or the child process if the child process is not functioning
as expected.

* TERM, INT signals will trigger graceful process shutdown.
Auth, node and proxy processes will wait until the amount
of active connections goes down to 0 and will exit after that.

* KILL, QUIT signals will cause immediate non-graceful
shutdown.

* HUP signal combines USR2 and TERM signals in a convenient
way: parent process will fork a child process and
self-initate graceful shutdown. This is a more convenient
than USR2/TERM sequence, but less agile and robust
as if the connection to the parent process drops, but
the new process exits with error, administrators
can lock themselves out of the environment.

Additionally, boltdb backend has to be phased out,
as it does not support read/writes by two concurrent
processes. This had required refactoring of the dir
backend to use file locking to allow inter-process
collaboration on read/write operations.
