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.
