ProcessList: fix quadratic process removal when scanning

This commit changes ProcessList_scan to lazily remove Processes by
index, which is known, instead of performing a brute-force search by
pid and immediately reclaiming the lost vector space via compaction.

Searching by pid is potentially quadratic in ProcessList_scan because
the process we are searching for is always at the back of the vector
(the scan starts from the back of the vector). Additionally, removal
via Vector_remove immediately reclaims space (by sliding elements
down).

With these changes process removal in ProcessList_scan is now linear.

Changes:
  * ProcessList: add new ProcessList_removeIndex function to remove
    by index
  * Vector: add Vector_softRemove and Vector_compact functions to
    support lazy removal/deletion of entries Vector_softRemove
    Vector_compact
  * Vector: replace Vector_count with Vector_countEquals since it only
    used for consistency assertions.
