The functions SDL_malloc(), SDL_free() and SDL_strdup() were used only
because strdup() was not available everywhere.
Now that it is available, use the native version of these functions.
The current process could be waited both by run_file_handler() and
file_handler_stop().
To avoid the race condition, wait the process without closing, then
close with mutex locked.
There were two versions: process_wait() and process_wait_noclose().
Expose a single version with a flag (it was already implemented that way
internally).
The function process_wait() returned a bool (true if the process
terminated successfully) and provided the exit code via an output
parameter exit_code.
But the returned value was always equivalent to exit_code == 0, so just
return the exit code instead.
On Linux, waitpid() both waits for the process to terminate and reaps it
(closes its handle). On Windows, these actions are separated into
WaitForSingleObject() and CloseHandle().
Expose these actions separately, so that it is possible to send a signal
to a process while waiting for its termination without race condition.
This allows to wait for server termination normally, but kill the
process without race condition if it is not terminated after some delay.
