Allow pasta to take a command to execute

When not given an existing PID or network namspace to attach to, pasta
spawns a shell.  Most commands which can spawn a shell in an altered
environment can also run other commands in that same environment, which can
be useful in automation.

Allow pasta to do the same thing; it can be given an arbitrary command to
run in the network and user namespace which pasta creates.  If neither a
command nor an existing PID or netns to attach to is given, continue to
spawn a default shell, as before.
