Previously just readProcess, readProcessWithExitCode did this, now callProcess and callCommand do too. If a thread running one of these functions gets an exception, including async exceptions (such as from timeout or killThread), then the external process gets terminated. Introduce a helper function to implement this behaviour. Currently it is not exposed to users, but that could be changed easily.
