47483a94f1 fix(process): fork_detached created zombie processes
Since the forked processes are still our children, we need to wait on
them, otherwise they become zombie processes.

We now fork twice, let the first fork immediately return and wait on it.
This reparents the second fork, which runs the actual code, to the init
process which then collects it.

52eee95bf8 controller: Detach shell commands from polybar
Shell commands triggered from action tags used to block polybar until
they finished.

Since we are not actually interested in the output of the commands, it
makes sense to run them completely detached from polybar and have
polybar not block when executing these commands.

Now the spawned child processes no longer get killed when polybar
exits. This is fine because polybar is not responsible for these
processes since they were explicitly started by the user through click
commands.
