procutil: try and avoid angering CoreFoundation on macOS

We've seen failures like this:

    objc[57662]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
    objc[57662]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

I think this is due to forking off some background processes during
`hg update` or similar. I don't have any conclusive proof this is the
fork() call that's to blame, but it's the most likely one since the
regular `hg update` codepath uses the other fork() invocation (via
workers) and we don't get this report from non-Google macOS users.

Ugh.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7615

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
