doc: clarify process.title inconsistencies
Many users assume the act of assigning a value to process.title
will update
the name of their process in apps like macOS Activity Monitor or Windows
Services Manager. This has worked in the past, but fails in some versions of
Node.js. Ultimately developers are left confused, especially when it works in
one version of Node.js and not another. Given the recurring nature and
complexity of the underlying issue, it does not seem like a resolvable problem.
This note clarifies the source of the problem and sets developer expectations.
