The os package sets a finalizer on all Process values. Currently, on Unix, that finalizer does nothing useful. It should probably call wait on the process if that has not already been done, to remove the otherwise zombie process.

Too late for Go 1.10, but I'd love to see this done by the runtime at some point. Zombie accumulation is one of my top 10 Go bugs. It's easy to diagnose and fix, but I wonder how many people don't do either.
