William Carroll 5785a5d126 Support prelude/start-process
If you refer to the previous commit where I change shell-command usages to
start-process function calls, you'll see the rationale for why I prefer
start-process.

This commit introduces a more ergonomic API for start-process that fits most of
my current use-cases of it. This cleans up the code. I have introduced a bug in
the way that I'm tokenizing the COMMAND value. I've tracked that with a
TODO. For now it only affects the `xmodmap -e '<command-string>'` calls, which
isn't too disruptive.

;;; prelude.el --- My attempt at augmenting Elisp stdlib -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;;; Commentary:
;; Some of these ideas are scattered across other modules like `fs',
;; `string-functions', etc. I'd like to keep everything modular. I still don't
;; have an answer for which items belond in `misc'; I don't want that to become
;; a dumping grounds. Ideally this file will `require' all other modules and
;; define just a handful of functions.
;; TODO: Consider removing all dependencies from prelude.el.
