[this is a port of a old KVM userland patch I had; Avi back then suggested to 
submit it to qemu]

Set the Linux process name to the name argument specified with "-name". I find
this useful to see which guests are taking CPU time in top.

This doesn't affect ps, which checks argv[0], but rewriting the 
environment uses much more code, so I only used this simple way.
