LaunchProgram

Takes a ProgramLocation, a u32 Process_Manager_services#LaunchFlags pm launch_flags, and a u8 LaunchFlags pgl launch_flags.

This calls pm:shell->LaunchProgram with the program location and the input launch flags. If jit_debug!enable_jit_debug is true, LaunchFlags_SignalOnCrash is ORRd into the flags sent to PM.

This then creates a new process tracking structure for the new process id and with the pgl launch flags. If an empty process struct is not allocated from the 0x20 slab heap, pgl aborts.

TerminateProcess

This just calls pm:shell->TerminateProcess with the input process id.

GetEventObserver

No input. Returns an #IEventObserver.
