Bidirectional monitoring with a strong lifetime coupling is established by
calling a LinkRequest to an address. This will cause the runtime to send
an ExitMsg if either this or other dies. Per default, actors terminate
after receiving an ExitMsg unless the exit reason is exit_reason::normal.
This mechanism propagates failure states in an actor system. Linked actors
form a sub system in which an error causes all actors to fail collectively.
