   with Guile support, and may become multithreaded if compiled
   with Python support.  We deal with this by spawning a single-
   threaded helper process to access mount namespaces other than
   our own.

   The helper process is started the first time a call to setns
   is required.  The main process (GDB or gdbserver) communicates
   with the helper via sockets, passing file descriptors where
   necessary using SCM_RIGHTS.  Once started the helper process
   runs until the main process terminates; when this happens the
   helper will receive socket errors, notice that its parent died,
   and exit accordingly (see mnsh_maybe_mourn_peer).

   The protocol is that the main process sends a request in a
   single message, and the helper replies to every message it
   receives with a single-message response.  If the helper
   receives a message it does not understand it will reply with
   a MNSH_MSG_ERROR message.  The main process checks all
   responses it receives with gdb_assert, so if the main process
   receives something unexpected (which includes MNSH_MSG_ERROR)
   the main process will call internal_error.

   For avoidance of doubt, if the helper process receives a
   message it doesn't handle it will reply with MNSH_MSG_ERROR.
   If the main process receives MNSH_MSG_ERROR at any time then
   it will call internal_error.  If internal_error causes the
   main process to exit, the helper will notice this and also
   exit.  The helper will not exit until the main process
   terminates, so if the user continues through internal_error
   the helper will still be there awaiting requests from the
   main process.

   Messages in both directions have the following payload:

   - TYPE (enum mnsh_msg_type, always sent) - the message type.
   - INT1 and
   - INT2 (int, always sent, though not always used) - two
           values whose meaning is message-type-dependent.
	   See enum mnsh_msg_type documentation below.
   - FD (int, optional, sent using SCM_RIGHTS) - an open file
         descriptor.
   - BUF (unstructured data, optional) - some data with message-
          type-dependent meaning.

   Note that the helper process is the child of a call to fork,
   so all code in the helper must be async-signal-safe.  */
