Introduce spaceship comparison for Processes

If currently two unsigned values are compared via `a - b`, in the case b
is actually bigger than a, the result will not be an negative number (as
-1 is expected) but a huge positive number as the subtraction is an
unsigned subtraction.

Avoid over-/underflow affected operations; use comparisons.
Modern compilers will generate sane code, like:
    xor     eax, eax
    cmp     rdi, rsi
    seta    al
    sbb     eax, 0
    ret
