Fix: run_as gid/uid test should return result to parent

Failure to do so could cause the parent to hang on read() waiting for
the return value from the child.

Targets: 2.3-rc and stable-2.2 branches.

Fix: hash table growth (for small tables) should be limited (v2)

Buckets with many entries encountered in a hash table could cause it to
grow to a large size, beyond the scope for which this mechanism is
expected to play a role when node accounting is available. Indeed, when
the hash table grows to larger size, split-counter node accounting is
expected to deal with resize/shrink rather than relying on an heuristic
based on the largest bucket size.

This is fixing an issue where we see hash tables sometimes reaching 65k
entries index (65536*8 = 524288 bytes) for a workload limited to adding
1000 entries and then removing all of them, done in a loop (random
keys).

Fix: consumer data pending for empty streams

We should at least output one packet before a stream can be considered
as readable. So far, for PID buffers, if an application exits at the
wrong timing before a stop waiting for data pending, empty streams could
be visible by a babeltrace executed after data pending incorrectly
returned false.

Fix it by considering a stream for which the consumerd has written 0
bytes to the output as having data pending.

This applies to 2.3-rc and stable-2.2.
