    Implement namespace creation method

    Since [1], Pyroute forks the namespace creation to avoid calling
    destructive routine "libc.unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)" from the main
    process. This implementation uses sockets between both processes
    to return any error feedback sent from the child process.

    This patch implements the same fork without any communication. If
    the child process raises an exception other than "OSError(EEXIST)",
    the child process returns 1 that is read by the the main process,
    that raises a "RuntimeError" exception.
