Re: process: Confusion about UseHandle handles being closed.

1. Add clear documentation to `createProcess` indicating that it will close the `Handle` automatically. 2. Add a new function to be exported from `System.Process` with the semantics of `createProcess_`. I'm open to bikeshedding on the name, but perhaps sticking with `createProcess_` makes the most sense.

I think the cleanest solution would be to add a new field (e.g. leaveOpen) to the CreateProcess record. (Btw. why are the other fields named with underscores?) Otherwise, every new switch to createProcess multiplies the number of its variants. Users who create the CreateProcess structure using 'shell' and 'proc' won't need to adapt their code.
