river: send SIGTERM to init command process group
Run the init command in a new process group and send SIGTERM to the
entire group on exit. Without doing this, only the sh invocation used
for the `sh -c` would receive SIGTERM.
This is particularly useful when starting a per-session server manager
as the init command.
