Add new properties for the path and arguments separately

Currently there’s process.cmd, but it includes both the path and arguments. Would be useful for https://github.com/sindresorhus/fkill-cli/issues/16 to have separate process.path and process.args properties.

Context:

I looked into this more, and I might have a solution to get the arguments without the full path. It seems ps -o pid -o comm returns the full path without arguments and ps -o pid -o command returns with arguments. So we could get both columns and just diff them to get the arguments. I think this should be added as a new property in ps-list. So we could add an args property with just the arguments and a path property with the full path to the binary without arguments, just for completeness.

Ideally, someone would write a cross-platform binary for this in Rust and we could just bundle some binaries for each platform, and fall back to ps if those fail or something.

Can be done with different API, but that would require using more than just ps and would require writing a whole article on what is what for linux(/similar) process.

What other API? And why would it require writing a whole article?
