Add subprocess tracing for Bun.spawn and child_process

Implemented comprehensive tracing for subprocess operations to help
AI agents and developers understand what commands are being executed.

Implementation:
- Added traceSubprocess() helper in subprocess.zig
- Trace spawn events with: cmd, args count, cwd, env count, pid
- Trace exit events with: pid, exit_code, signal, or errno
- Works for both Bun.spawn() and child_process module

Trace format:
```json
{"ns":"subprocess","ts":...,"data":{"call":"spawn","cmd":"echo","args":4,"cwd":"/path","env_count":43,"pid":1234}}
{"ns":"subprocess","ts":...,"data":{"call":"exit","pid":1234,"exit_code":0}}
```

Testing:
- Added 3 comprehensive tests in subprocess-trace.test.ts
- Tests cover Bun.spawn, child_process spawn, and argument tracking
- All tests passing

This is critical for debugging applications that shell out to other
tools, which is very common in real-world applications.
