While the tests for sed itself are simple to begin with, some
infrastructure was needed to make them simple.
Firstly, there was no home for tests for the applications under
Utilities, so I had to create a new subdirectory under Tests to host
them.
Secondly, and more importantly, there was previously no easy way to
launch an executable and easily feed it with data for its stdin, then
read its stdout/err and exit code. Looking around the repo I found that
the JS tests do a very similar thing though, so I decided to adapt that
solution for these tests, but with the higher purpose of someday moving
this new Process class to LibCore/Process, where the existing spawn
helpers are still very low level, and there is no representation of a
Process object that one can easily interact with.
Note that this Process implementation is very simple, offers limited
functionality, and it doesn't use the EventLoop, so it can break on long
inputs/outputs depending on the executable behavior.
