Fixes containers#91 Add the ability to overwrite argv[0] when starting a process in a container. Using --argv0 to be consistent with ld.so --argv0. Overwriting argv[0] is useful as some tools change their behavior based on the value of argv[0]. For example, when bash is symlinked to sh it behaves as sh. Similarly, unxz is a symlink to xz and changes the default from compressing to decompressing. An extreme example is on many systems, date, df, cat and so on are all symlinks to the coreutils binary. Example usage: bwrap --bind / / --argv0 sh bash Signed-off-by: Jonathan Wright <quaggy@gmail.com>

PS: Thank you for the kind advice on my previous pull-request to add a --exec option.
