[RFC PATCH v3 3/9] libcamera: process: Use `pid_` member to decide if running

[Barnabás Pőcze]

Instead of using a separate member variable, use `pid_ > 0` to determine
if the process is still running. Previously the value of `pid_` was not
reset to -1 when the process terminated, but since it is only meaningful
while the process is running, reset it to -1 in `Process::died()`.

Neither `pid_` nor `running_` are exposed, so this change has no effect
on the public interface or observable behaviour.
