/**
 * Actually start a process.  All of the arguments given to this
 * function are strings that are used for the "argv" array.  However,
 * if those strings contain spaces, the given argument is split into
 * multiple argv entries without spaces.  Similarly, if an argument is
 * the empty string, it is skipped.  This function has the inherent
 * limitation that it does NOT allow passing command line arguments
 * with spaces to the new process.
 *
 * @param lsocks array of listen sockets to dup starting at fd3 (systemd-style), or NULL
 * @param first_arg first argument for argv (may be an empty string)
 * @param ... more arguments, NULL terminated
 * @return handle of the started process, NULL on error
