Ladybird's HelperProcess.cpp was the only user of the IPCProcess class.
Moving the helper class from LibCore allows for some more interesting
LibIPC changes in the upcoming commits.
This large commit also refactors LibWebView's process handling to use
a top-level Application class that uses a new WebView::Process class to
encapsulate the IPC-centric nature of each helper process.
We don't need `file_actions` to be a constant-reference. It's created
in-place by its one user (HackStudio). Because it is currently a const-
ref, if we try to create a ProcessSpawnOptions like so:
Core::ProcessSpawnOptions options { .name = "foo"sv };
We get the following error with clang 18:
lifetime extension of temporary created by aggregate initialization
using a default member initializer is not yet supported; lifetime of
temporary will end at the end of the full-expression
This largely adapts the code from SingletonProcess.cpp to work a bit
closer with Core::Process. Ideally, we'll move the daemonizing feature
into Core::Process::disown() eventually.
We implement the move constructor already. A future commit will have
code of the form:
process = move(other_process);
which there is no reason to forbid.
Add a boolean to ProcessSpawnOptions, `search_for_executable_in_path`,
which when true, calls into posix_spawnp() instead of posix_spawn().
This defaults to false to maintain the existing behavior.
The `path` field is renamed to `executable` because having two fields
refer to "path" and mean different things seemed unnecessarily
confusing.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

This method can be used to force the current process to sleep, waiting
for a debugger to attach. On attach, the debugger breaks at the callsite
directly.
This is tested on Linux and macOS, in Clion and also terminal gdb and
lldb.
`Process::get_name()` and `Process::set_name()` are basically the same
as `get_process_name()` and `set_process_name()`, except making use of
convenient Serenity standard types and returning ErrorOr, instead of
char* and errno shenanigans.
`Process::set_name()` has an optional `SetThreadName` parameter, for
when you also want to set the thread's name to the same thing. That's
true for the two places that use `set_process_name()`.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This makes the wrapper more like the rest in LibCore, and also
removes the annoying limitation of not supporting arguments.
There are three overloads one for String, char const *, and StringView
argument lists. As long as there are <= 10 arguments the argv list
will be allocated inline, otherwise on the heap.
This is a simple wrapper around posix_spawn() that will help us simplify
a bunch of very verbose posix_spawn() invocations.
This first version only supports the simplest case: executing an
executable without passing arguments or doing anything fancy. More
features can be added to cover more cases. :^)
