Can not debug if maya is started with command line arguments

See original GitHub issue

If maya is started with commandline arguments then the debug functionality in PyCharm does not work. It does not find the maya executable.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start Maya with the following command line parameter C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya 2017\bin\maya.exe -hideConsole
  2. Make sure correct command port is active in maya
  3. Running a script from PyCharm works properly
  4. Try debugging the script. It shows the following error. 11:48 AM MayaCharm: no running Maya Instance for "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2017\bin\maya.exe" found

It seems like the it could be a bug in ProcessUtils in kotlin. Not sure.

I am using the latest version of MayaCharm 3.0 with PyCharm Professional 2018.3 and Maya 2017 Update 5
