+Version of 'System.Process.readProcessWithExitCode' that uses lazy bytestrings
+instead of strings and allows setting environment variables.
+
+@readProcessWithExitCode@ creates an external process, reads its
+standard output and standard error strictly, waits until the process
+terminates, and then returns the 'ExitCode' of the process,
+the standard output, and the standard error.
+
+If an asynchronous exception is thrown to the thread executing
+@readProcessWithExitCode@. The forked process will be terminated and
+@readProcessWithExitCode@ will wait (block) until the process has been
+terminated.
