Item14532: Allow process name override for FCGI task.

The process table always shows a fixed name for the fcgi handlers regardless of the name of the init script.

Suggest the following enhancements:

• Add a parameter to the foswiki.fcgi script - -N | pname
• Change init script to pass -N ${NAME} as an argument
• Change lib/Foswiki/Engine/FastCGI.pm to set the name from the new argument

Slotting this for 2.1.5. It's a very minor enhancement.

Whoops - GetOptions is not case sensitive so -N for name collides with -n for number of processes. Changing to -a for nAme,.
