Description
Add a way to keep relaunching the payload process in case it exits with an exit code other than 0.
Use case:
`launch --relaunch-on-exit Filer --desktop` could be used in the startup script. If Filer crashes, it would get automatically restarted. (Reference: https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/172#issuecomment-862589188)
Note:
The time between two non-successful launches should double every time it is tried (to prevent from "respawning too fast" situations due to launch-crash-launch-crash loops).
* Try to relaunch immediately after the payload process has exited with an exit code other than 0
* In case the relaunch fails, wait for 2 seconds and retry
* In case the relaunch fails again, wait for 4 seconds and retry
* In case the relaunch fails again, wait for 8 seconds and retry
* and so on
* Once the relaunch succeeds and the payload application does not exit with an exit code other than 0 within a certain amount of time, reset the delay so that in case the application crashes again, the whole process starts again.
Is this a sensible behavior?
