Implement: bool subprocess_alive() #33

Closed IngwiePhoenix closed 3 years ago

When working with an async process, it'd be nice to have a clean method to periodically check if the process is still alive or if it has already finished. Right now, _join(), _destroy() and _terminate() seem to all be about waiting for a process to end - or just destroying the struct and sending it away from the current process (as stated that _destroy() can leave a process running even after main execution has finished).

I'll add this to the todo. PRs welcome though!
