clone: add CLONE_NNP
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_NNP that sets no_new_privs on the child process at clone time. This is analogous to prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) but applied at process creation rather than requiring a separate step after the child starts running. CLONE_NNP is rejected with CLONE_THREAD. It's conceptually a lot simpler if the whole thread-group is forced into NNP and not have single threads running around with NNP.
