This commit refines the documentation around child.kill(), where kill
attempts against shells will lead to unexpected results. Namely, on
linux the child process of a child process will not terminate, when
its parent gets terminated. This is different across the the
platforms.

this adds an example of a long running node process that actually
executes node code.
Also it mentions the not to harmonic detach behaviours of the
different platforms, whereas detaching on unix requires ignoring
the child_process' stdio explicitely.

The changes to the file argument of execFile in #4504 make it appear
that execFile requires an absolute or relative path to the executable
file, when it also supports a filename which will be resolved using
$PATH. Although the example makes this clear, assuming there isn't a
node binary in $CWD, it's easy to overlook. This commit clarifies that
point.
It also updates the argument description for execFileSync to match,
since it was overlooked in #4504 and behaves identically.

This commit adds a shell option, to spawn() and spawnSync(). This
option allows child processes to be spawned with or without a

This changes the code blocks from 4-space indentation to ``` fences for
better syntax highlighting and future linting support. Minor On-the-fly
changes for typos and highlight breaking markdown have been made.
JSON-Style objects have been changed so their closing bracket is
on the same line as the opening one.
Known issues:
* Not every JSON / object notation has been improved. Should
make another run for this.
* Some example functions break hightlighting due to various
combinations of brackets. However changing them means leaving
the code style.

Add an optional callback parameter to `ChildProcess.prototype.send()`
that is invoked when the message has been sent.
Juggle the control channel's reference count so that in-flight messages
keep the event loop (and therefore the process) alive until they have
been sent.
`ChildProcess.prototype.send()` and `process.send()` used to operate
synchronously but became asynchronous in commit libuv/libuv@393c1c5
("unix: set non-block mode in uv_{pipe,tcp,udp}_open"), which landed
in io.js in commit 07bd05b ("deps: update libuv to 1.2.1").
