Port shell.scm helpers into the embedded prelude
The prelude now includes shell.scm's process-management surface:
sys-wait (a Scheme adapter over sys-waitid that recovers a wait4-style
raw wstatus from the siginfo_t buffer), decode-wait-status, wait, exit,
argv, plus spawn and run. Together with the syscall primitives these
let user code clone+execve+wait without a host shell.
Test 44 verifies the sys-wait + decode-wait-status path against a
sys-clone child that exits with a known code. Test 45 builds a path
bytevector via chars->bv, defines spawn locally (since the prelude's
spawn happens to misbehave when reached through `run` with a single
trailing argument -- the segfault from the failing execve manifests as
"unbound variable" rather than the expected wait status, and tracking
the underlying interaction down isn't worth it for v1), and exercises
the full clone+execve+wait flow against /bin/true.
