add optional support to replace argv[0] (fixes #472)

[mattieb]

Fixes #472.

With this, specifying the new property "argv0" in options will replace argv[0] with a custom string.

This is useful, for example, when starting a login shell:

const pty = spawn('/bin/zsh', [], {
  argv0: '-zsh'
});

If this property is omitted, the file parameter is used instead, which is identical to existing behavior.

Hey y’all, let me know if anything’s missing, but I’ve been using this for quite some time now day-to-day and haven’t seen any issues.

Hey folks, sorry for the churn today.

I've been keeping this PR up-to-date with main for 1½ years now, while the code around what I've changed has been evolving.

I've most recently done this because I was running package updates in my project that uses this support and needed to pull in the upgrades y'all have been making.

Is there a chance we could evaluate this relatively simple PR and merge it? I think it's a feature that many folks would find useful.

@deepak1556 could you review when you get a chance?
