PidFile - create and manage a PID file from the BEAM process

Having used heart in production for about 8 years I can safely say it has been more of a hassle than it’s worth - trying to persuade the heart+erlang runtime that it’s time to shut down cleanly without each of them restarting the other is always painful. I can count the number of times I’ve needed heart to restart a hung vm on the fingers of one hand.
