process: add nice() function

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/zokker13/add_nice_function into master

The nice function allows us to fine-tune the process to meet desired scheduling behavior. If our process needs less schedule time because it is a long-running one, we can increase the nice value and cause the scheduler to select the process not so often.

If desired, here's the technical documentation: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/nice.2.html
