+Enhancement: Update OCIS Runtime
+
+- enhances the overall behavior of our runtime
+- runtime `db` file configurable
+- two new env variables to deal with the runtime
+- `RUNTIME_DB_FILE` and `RUNTIME_KEEP_ALIVE`
+- `RUNTIME_KEEP_ALIVE` defaults to `false` to provide backwards compatibility
+- if `RUNTIME_KEEP_ALIVE` is set to `true`, if a supervised process terminates the runtime will attempt to start with the same environment provided.
