tracehook: clone
This moves all the ptrace initialization and tracing logic for task creation into tracehook.h and ptrace.h inlines. It reorganizes the code slightly, but should not change any behavior. There are four tracehook entry points, at each important stage of task creation. This keeps the interface from the core fork.c code fairly clean, while supporting the complex setup required for ptrace or something like it.
