Description

Node.js does this now for childProcess. when you promisify it.

https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback

The name is to be decided.

One day, I hope we can get rid of execa() being both a childProcess and promise and just have the .child property on the promise. But that's a huge breaking change. For now, the best we can do is to add it, and recommend new users to use it instead of the old way. We could even un-document the old way.

@ehmicky Thoughts?
