Fix linux start process errorCode always 0 (#24001)

#23992 The test case provided does not cover the Windows situation, I
fixed it in this new PR.

Fixed an issue where errorCode was always 0 when startProcess didn't use
the poEvalCommand flag.

Tthe sleep command might not be available in all Windows installations,
so I skipped the relevant test.

Added a test case, tested on my fedora and windows systems.
