Spawn processes in background sessions

Why are these changes needed?

Currently ray.init() spawns child processes and leaves them in the foreground process session group, which means ctrl-c is propagated to them. This causes redis to crash, so we don't gracefully handle KeyboardInterrupts in interactive python shells.
