This code adds the event-fork option that, when set, will have tasks with their PIDs in set_event_pid add their children PIDs when they fork. It will also remove their PID from the file on exit. Thanks to HPA for suggesting the bitmask over the more complex special "hash" algorithm I originally had. It simplified the code and makes it more robust.
