Use `Process.exec` on Unix systems to replace the current process. This doesn't work on Windows (crystal-lang/crystal#14422), so we use `Process.run` instead, plus `exit(Process::Status)` on Crystal 1.19 (crystal-lang/crystal#16436) or a fallback (`exit status.system_exit_status.to_i32!`) on older versions.

This overload easily allows forwarding the exit status of a sub-process like this:
It's a component for building a
Process.execalternative with portable semantics (#14422). But I figure it can be useful on its own, so it should be exposed in the public API.
