ssh: pass 0 to procctl(2) to operate on self
As of f833ab9dd187 procctl(2) allows idtype P_PID with id = 0 as a
shortcut for the calling process ID. The shortcut also bypasses the
p_cansee / p_candebug test (since the process is able to act on itself.)
At present if the security.bsd.unprivileged_proc_debug sysctl is 0 then
procctl(P_PID, getpid(), ... for a process to act on itself will fail,
but procctl(P_PID, 0, ... will succeed. This should likely be addressed
with a kernel change.
In any case the id = 0 shortcut is a tiny optimization for a process to
act on itself and allows the self-procctl to succeed, so use it in ssh.
