Add ChildProcessManager

The new class hold a list of ChildProcesses and periodically checks
their return value until they report termination. On Linux this check
is necessary to avoid leaving zombie processes behind.

+
+        This class is mostly aimed for usage on Linux, where terminated child processes are only
+        cleaned up if their return code is read after termination. In order to ensure this one needs
+        to call ChildProcess::isFinished() until it returns false or
+        ChildProcess::waitForProcessToFinish() until it returns true.
+
+        This class will keep querying the return code on a Timer thread until the process
+        terminates. This can be handy if one wants to start and stop multiple ChildProcesses on
+        Linux that could take a long time to complete.
+
+        Since this class uses a Timer to check subprocess status, it's generally only safe to
+        access the returned ChildProcesses from the message thread.
