Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 2/4] process: add the PF_SUID flag

If the binary file in an execve system call is a suid executable, we add
the PF_SUID flag to the process and all its future new children and
threads.

In a later commit, we will use this information to determine if it is
safe to core dump such a process.
