Description

When writing a container logger plugin ala the logrotate logger, there's a need to incorporate systemd functionality used internally by mesos to extend the lifespan's beyond the executor.

This looks to be something almost every logging plugin would want to do when spawning subprocesses, but header files needed for it are currently buried in `src/linux` requiring a full Mesos src code installation.

This functionality needs to be lifted and made available as part of the public API.
