Patch which adds scripts for running build slaves with daemontools

It looks like sometimes PulseAudio and/or Xvfb in the GTK+ build slaves
decide to die and they need to be restarted [1]. In the  build slaves
which we have running those services (plus a crash dump grabber, and
Buildbot itself) are run under control of DJB's daemontools [2], which
takes care of restarting services automatically when they die.

I was suggested to share the scripts [3], so I cleaned them up, added
support for a configuration file, a README file, and crafted a patch
that adds the files under "WebKitTools/BuildSlaveSupport/gtk".

Looks like you forgot the ChangeLog. Prefill it with prepare-ChangeLog --bug xxxx

Version 2 of patch, adds the missing ChangeLog modification

I have updated my Svn checkout, used prepare-ChangeLog as suggested, and finally svn-create-patch. I hope that now the patch is in a better shape.

BTW, thanks for the reminder, Philippe.

Collabora may one day submit patches doing the same thing with monit.
In that case these may need to move to a subdirectory, but I think for
now this is fine.
