    Tests for std::process and remove receive_if · bf0d6d66

    This adds tests for `std::process`, and removes
    `std::process.receive_if`. The `receive_if` method has always been a bit
    of a weird method. It was originally meant to allow some form of pattern
    matching on messages, but this turned out to be less useful than hoped
    due to the return type still being `Dynamic`.
    
    The `timeout` argument was also not used properly, and solving this
    would not be easily doable.  This is because there was no single
    operation to apply the timeout to, instead the implementation of
    `receive_if` contained two `receive` calls, and some other logic.
    Handling all this would require us to keep track of the elapsed time
    ourselves, which is rather tricky should the process be stuck in a
    blocking receive.
    
    Instead of trying to come up with all kinds of crazy ideas, I have opted
    to simply remove `receive_if` for the time being. This makes some test
    runner code a bit more fragile (in theory), but I doubt this will pose
    any real problems any time soon.
