Taking back my words here. We definitely want to spawn a new process
in the case of pg_regress, so I think that the best thing to do would
be to pass the to-be-launched command to get_restrict_token(), and be
careful with WaitForSingleObject and GetExitCodeProcess() as there are
cases where we cannot wait for a process, so we are going to need a
control flag, or to let the callers of get_restricted_token() do the
wait themselves. I would think that the latter is better, additional
opinions being welcome.
