This patch removes a call to tor_assert_unreached() after execve()
failed. This assertion leads to the child process emitting a stack trace
on its standard output, which makes the error harder for the user to
demystify, since they think it is an internal error in Tor instead of
"just" being a "no such file or directory" error.
The process will now instead output "Error from child process: X" where
X is the stringified version of the errno value.

When cleaning up after an error in process_unix_exec, the stdin
pipe was being double closed instead of closing both the stdin
and stdout pipes. This occurred in two places.

This patch makes sure that we terminate the event loop from the event
loop timer instead of directly in the process' exit handler. This allows
us to run the event loop an additional time to ensure that the SleepEx()
call on Windows is called and the data from stdout/stderr is delivered
to us.
Additionally we ensure that we don't try to read or write data from a
Unix process that have been terminated in the main loop, since its file
descriptors are closed at that time.

This patch makes sure that we call process_notify_event_exit() after we
have done any modifications we need to do to the state of a process_t.
This allows application developers to call process_free() in the
exit_callback of the process.

This patch adds support for getting the unique process identifier from a
given process_t. This patch implements both support for both the Unix
and Microsoft Windows backend.

This patch adds the Unix backend for the Process subsystem. The Unix
backend attaches file descriptors from the child process's standard in,
out and error to Tor's libevent based main loop using traditional Unix
pipes. We use the already available `waitpid` module to get events
whenever the child process terminates.
