Spawning child processes with extra control.

This extends the Eio.Process API with more control over file-descriptors.

class virtual mgr : object ... end
val spawn_unix : sw:Eio.Std.Switch.t -> mgr -> ?cwd:Eio.Fs.dir Eio.Path.t -> fds:(int * Fd.t * Private.Fork_action.blocking) list -> ?env:string array -> ?executable:string -> string list -> Eio.Process.t

spawn_unix ~sw mgr ~fds args spawns a child process running the command args.

The arguments are as for Eio.Process.spawn, except that it takes a list of FD mappings for Fork_action.inherit_fds directly, rather than just flows for the standard streams.
