os: Process finalizer should wait for process on Unix systems #18881

@ianlancetaylor

Description

@ianlancetaylor

The os package sets a finalizer on all Process values. Currently, on Unix, that finalizer does nothing useful. It should probably call wait on the process if that has not already been done, to remove the otherwise zombie process.
