Pull request overview
This PR backports .NET 11 System.Diagnostics.Process-related API reference documentation into this repo, replacing placeholder text for newly introduced types and members so the published docs reflect the new APIs and their behaviors.

Processmembers (including run/capture and stream-reading APIs) and related new types. - Documents new
ProcessStartInfomembers (notablyInheritedHandles,KillOnParentExit, standard-handle SafeFileHandle properties, andStartDetached) with detailed platform-specific remarks. - Improves constructor/property docs for
ProcessExitStatus,ProcessOutputLine, andProcessTextOutput.
