Some processes are getting orphaned when running Foreman with JRuby.
Creating a new pgroup allows them all to be killed together.

I believe the issue is related to how JRuby handles Dir.chdir by
creating a shell process: sh -c 'cd /chdir/target; ${command}'. That
causes a second process to be created that won't get cleaned up by
killing the parent.

This sends the signal to all processes in the group. I still saw leftover processes when the signal was sent only to the parent

@davishmcclurg Yes, that was actually the branch I tested with.

I forked foreman and merged #780 (this PR but rebased) and released the fork as overman: https://github.com/spinels/overman, https://rubygems.org/gems/overman, #780 (comment)
