Subject: [PATCH] include/inst: Add functions for implementing singleton
 daemons

The inst_start() function does not check if a process is already
running, making it unusable for the implementation of singleton
daemons.
This commit adds the inst_singleton() function, which allows the
caller to implement daemons which can only be run one at a time.
