Description

As part of MESOS-2830 and MESOS-2902 I have been researching the ability to run a Subprocess and capture the stdout / stderr along with the exit status code.

process::subprocess() offers much of the functionality, but in a way that still requires a lot of handiwork on the developer's part; we would like to further abstract away the ability to just pass a string, an optional set of command-line arguments and then collect the output of the command (bonus: without blocking).
