In order to handle KEYRING: caches, we need to be able to switch the
real UID of the process to the designated one, but that opens the door
to allowing gssd to be killed or reniced during the window where we've
switched credentials.
Change gssd to fork before trying to handle each upcall. The child will
do the work to establish the context and the parent task will just wait
for it to exit. It's still possible for the child to be killed or
reniced, but that would only affect a single upcall instead of the
entire daemon.
