Reland "posix: Replace DoubleForkAndExec() with ForkAndSpawn()"
This is a reland of 460943dd9a71dc76f68182a8ede766d5543e5341
Original change's description:
> The DoubleForkAndExec() function was taking over 622 milliseconds to run
> on macOS 11 (BigSur) on Intel i5-1038NG7. I did some debugging by adding
> some custom traces and found that the fork() syscall is the bottleneck
> here, i.e., the first fork() takes around 359 milliseconds and the
> nested fork() takes around 263 milliseconds. Replacing the nested fork()
> and exec() with posix_spawn() reduces the time consumption to 257
> milliseconds!
>
> See https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3064 to know why fork() is so
> slow on macOS and why posix_spawn() is a better replacement.
>
> Another point to note is that even base::LaunchProcess() from Chromium
> calls posix_spawnp() on macOS -

The reland isolates the change to non-Android POSIX systems because
posix_spawn and posix_spawnp are available in Android NDK 28, but
Chromium is building with version 23.
