Allow setting qemu process name v2
Set the Linux process name to the name argument specified with name. I find
this useful to see which guests are taking CPU time in top.
This doesn't affect ps, which checks argv[0], but rewriting the
environment uses much more code, so I only used this simple way.
v2: Use separate process= argument, no prefixes.
