NOTE(Jeroen):
This old version returns the wrong executable path for things like `bash` or `sh`,
for whom `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` will just report "bash" or "sh",
resulting in misleading paths like `$PWD/sh`, even though that executable doesn't exist there.
A way to "fix" this would be to invoke `which <name>` or scour the $PATH variable, but a better way
would be preferred.
To be fair, `htop` also suffers from this problem and will list `bash`, `tmux`, `xfce4-panel` as just their
executable name in the command line column. So I think we shouldn't prepend the current directory when an executable is
found in the $PATH, which is what seems to be happening here.

Thanks to Yawning for suggesting `/proc/self/exe`.
