process-util: dont allocate max length to read /proc/PID/cmdline
Alternative title: Replace get_process_cmdline()'s fopen()/fread() with read_full_virtual_file(). When RLIMIT_STACK is set to infinity:infinity, _SC_ARG_MAX will return 4611686018427387903 (depending on the system, but definitely something larger than most systems have). It's impractical to allocate this in one go when most cmdlines are much shorter than that. Instead use read_full_virtual_file() which seems to increase the buffer depending on the size of the contents.
