Currently the shims only support starting the logging binary process if the
io.Creator Config does not specify Terminal: true. This means that the program
using containerd will only be able to specify FIFO io when Terminal: true,
rather than allowing the shim to fork the logging binary process. Hence,
containerd consumers face an inconsistent behavior regarding logging binary
management depending on the Terminal option.
Allowing the shim to fork the logging binary process will introduce consistency
between the running container and the logging process. Otherwise, the logging
process may die if its parent process dies whereas the container will keep
running, resulting in the loss of container logs.
