On Posix, these and the corresponding getProcessID()/getProcessHandle()
accessors produce the same pid_t value; but on Windows, it's useful to
distinguish an int-like 'id' useful to human log readers versus an opaque
'handle' for passing to platform-specific API functions. So make the
distinction in a platform-independent way.
On Posix platforms, the OS argument mechanism makes quoting/reparsing
unnecessary anyway, so this only affects Windows.
Add optional 'triggers' parameter to LLStringUtils::quote() (default: space
and double-quote). Only if the passed string contains a character in
'triggers' will it be double-quoted.
This is observed to fix a Windows-specific problem in which plugin child
process would fail to start because it wasn't expecting a quoted number.
Use LLStringUtils::quote() more consistently in LLProcess implementation for
logging.
If LLProcess can't set the right flag on a Windows Job Object, the object
isn't useful to us, so we might as well discard it.
quote() is sufficiently general that it belongs in LLStringUtil instead of
buried as a static helper function in llprocess.cpp.
Much as I dislike viewer log spam, seems to me starting a child process,
killing it and observing its termination are noteworthy events.
New logging makes LLExternalEditor launch message redundant; removed.
The idea is that, with the right flag settings, this will cause the OS to
terminate remaining viewer child processes when the viewer terminates --
whether or not it terminates intentionally. Of course, if LLProcess's caller
specifies autokill=false, e.g. to run the viewer updater, that asserts that we
WANT the child to persist beyond the viewer session itself.
LLProcessLauncher had the somewhat fuzzy mandate of (1) accumulating
parameters with which to launch a child process and (2) sometimes tracking the
lifespan of the ensuing child process. But a valid LLProcessLauncher object
might or might not have ever been associated with an actual child process.
LLProcess specifically tracks a child process. In effect, it's a fairly thin
wrapper around a process HANDLE (on Windows) or pid_t (elsewhere), with
lifespan management thrown in. A static LLProcess::create() method launches a
new child; create() accepts an LLSD bundle with child parameters. So building
up a parameter bundle is deferred to LLSD rather than conflated with the
process management object.
Reconcile all known LLProcessLauncher consumers in the viewer code base,
notably the class unit tests.
