Add spawnfd for use where fork / forkfd can't be used
In certain environments, using fork() is not recommended due to the need for an MMU. This commit adds support for those environments, by using posix_spawn. Limitations of this environment are: - we cannot reliably detect failure to exec (e.g. non-existing executable) - we cannot do setsid(); we do setpgrp(0, 0) instead - we cannot thread-safely chdir() to the requested dir Because of the former limitation, the QProcess unit tests that rely on failure-to-start error conditions are either skipped or marked as expected failures. There's a non-reliable solution that is implemented in a another commit. This change also makes it easier to transition the QNX builds to using fork(), which is supported from QNX Neutrino 6.6 and onwards.
