Zero downtime restart

Add a new feature: Zero downtime update/reload

1. The supervisor receives SIGUSR2.
2. Spawn a new supervisor.
3. Take over shared sockets.
4. Launch new workers, and stop old processes in parallel.
   * Launch new workers with source-only mode
     * Limit to zero_downtime_restart_ready? input plugin
   * Send SIGTERM to the old supervisor after 10s delay from 3.
5. The old supervisor stops and sends SIGWINCH to the new one.
6. The new workers run fully.

Problem to solve:

Updating Fluentd or reloading a config causes downtime.
Plugins that receive data as a server, such as `in_udp`, `in_tcp`,
and `in_syslog`, cannot receive data during this time.
This means that the data sent by a client is lost during this
time unless the client has a re-sending feature.
This makes updating Fluentd or reloading a config difficult in
some cases.

Note: need these feature

* treasure-data/serverengine#146
