On basically all UNIX systems the process name we get is truncated to the first
15 characters so in case the the name matches the first part of the process
cmdline we return that one instead because it's usually more explicative (e.g.
"gnome-keyring-d" vs. "gnome-keyring-daemon").
Problem is we do this all the time, even if len(name) < 15 characters so we
unnecessarily retrieve process cmdline every time we're interested just in the
process name:
