Add a way to keep relaunching the payload process in case it exits #15
Note:
The time between two non-successful launches should double every time it is tried (to prevent from "respawning too fast" situations due to launch-crash-launch-crash loops).
Try to relaunch immediately after the payload process has exited with an exit code other than 0
In case the relaunch fails, wait for 2 seconds and retry
In case the relaunch fails again, wait for 4 seconds and retry
In case the relaunch fails again, wait for 8 seconds and retry
and so on
Once the relaunch succeeds and the payload application does not exit with an exit code other than 0 within a certain amount of time, reset the delay so that in case the application crashes again, the whole process starts again.

Use case:
launch --relaunch-on-exit Filer --desktopcould be used in the startup script. If Filer crashes, it would get automatically restarted.

Is this a sensible behavior?
