Auto merge of #25495 - alexcrichton:process-pid, r=aturon

This commits adds a method to the `std::process` module to get the process
identifier of the child as a `u32`. On Windows the underlying identifier is
already a `u32`, and on Unix the type is typically defined as `c_int` (`i32` for
almost all our supported platforms), but the actually pid is normally a small
positive number.

Eventually we may add functions to load information about a process based on its
identifier or the ability to terminate a process based on its identifier, but
for now this function should enable this sort of functionality to exist outside
the standard library.
