child_process: improve spawn performance on Linux
Speed up child_process.spawn by enabling the new V8 build flag which
makes fork/exec faster.
Here are the results of running the existing benchmark. Note that this
optimization helps more for applications with larger heaps, so this is
somewhat of an underestimate of the real world performance benefits.
```console
$ ./node benchmark/compare.js --runs 15 \
--new ./node \
--old ~/node-v20/out/Release/node \
--filter params child_process > cpr
$ node-benchmark-compare cpr
