Use jobs when calling subprocesses

Many toolchain tools written for POSIX systems rely on the exec system
call. Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement `exec` in a
POSIX-compliant manner on Windows. In particular, the semantics of the
`exec` implementation provided by the widely-used `msvcrt` C runtime
will cause process's waiting on the `exec`'ing process to incorrectly
conclude that the process has successfully terminated when in fact it is
still running in another process.

For this reason, the `process` library exposes the `use_process_jobs`
flag to use a more strict (although still not POSIX-compliant) mechanism
for tracking process completion. This is explained in this comment [2].

Unfortunately, job support in the `process` library is currently quite
broken and was only recently fixed [1]. Consequently, we only enable job
object support for process releases >= 1.6.8.
