The new option '-qemu-children' makes it so that on `execve` the child
process will be launch by the same `qemu` executable that is currently
running along with its current commandline arguments.
The motivation for the change is to make it so that plugins running
through `qemu` can continue to run on children. Why not just
`binfmt`?: Plugins can be desirable regardless of system/architecture
emulation, and can sometimes be useful for elf files that can run
natively. Enabling `binfmt` for all natively runnable elf files may
not be desirable.

Why is this limited to AT_FDCWD? Why not for execvat too?

You still need to handle is_proc_myself, for the guest binary.
I wonder if those two cases are related. Do we need to also add an argument so that we
can pass the executable to the next qemu via file descriptor? I.e. execvat becomes
f = openat()
execv(qemu, "-execfd", f)
and is_proc_myself uses execfd, which we already have open.
