Linux C启动时创建pid文件

程序在启动时将pid写入文件，当程序再次启动时会进行检测，避免启动多个实例。

util-pidfile.h文件

void PidfileRemove(const char *);
int PidfileTestRunning(const char *pid_filename);

util-debug.h日志打印（主要是为了方便以后使用其他打印接口，就不用再修改util-pidfile.c文件了）

编译完成后运行该程序，然后再启动一个终端，再次运行这个程序的时候就会打印程序已运行并退出。

<ERROR> pid file '/var/run/test_pid01.pid' exists. Is program already running? Aborting!
