command: Add process_group method to Command struct
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Rust 1.64 stabilised the `process_group` method of the
`std::os::unix::process::CommandExt` trait. This allows the
caller to set the process group that a command is spawned in.

Expose that functionality from Tokio's `Command` structure,
behind the unstable feature.

This fixes #4312.
