 * In general we want scriptlets to run with the same priority as rpm
 * itself. However on legacy SysV init systems, properties of the
 * parent process can be inherited by the actual daemons on restart,
 * so you can end up with eg nice/ionice'd mysql or httpd, ouch.
 * This plugin resets the scriptlet process priorities after forking, and
 * can be used to counter that effect. Should not be used with systemd
 * because the it's not needed there, and the effect is counter-productive.
