> On restore, there might be PID value conflicts because of small PID values, if it was checkpoint'ed in a container. Therefore, when checkpointing in a container, we need to move PID value for new processes to a particular value to avoid conflicts on restore.

> This PR contains implemented functionality similar to the example above, making this work out of the box. By default, if checkpointing, PID is adjusted only if Java's PID is 1 that means Java is run in a container. To adjust PID manually for a checkpoint'ed process, `-XX:CRaCMinPid=<value>` option should be used along with `CRaCCheckpointTo`. Min `CRaCMinPid` value is 1, max `CRaCMinPid` value is `UINT_MAX`, but it is actually limited by OS's pid_max.

>     //   1         -        |    yes (default)    yes
>     //   1         1        |    no               yes
>     //   1        >1        |    yes              yes
>     //   >1        -        |    no               no
>     //   >1      <=getpid   |    no               no
>     //   >1       getpid<   |    yes              yes
