Fix noproc crash during release installation
When release_handler_1:get_supervised_procs/0 does a recursive walk of the supervision tree, it calls sys:get_status/1 on supervisors, to check if they are suspended or running. This fixes a race condition where a list of supervisor pids is gathered, one of them (legitimately) exits before release_handler can examine it, then sys:get_status/1 is called with a dead pid, causing an exit(noproc) See: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2015-August/085712.html (To recreate this problem for testing, I added a timer:sleep into the release_handler_1 code, and killed a supervisor during get_supervised_procs being called).
