perf: patch libuv to use posix_spawn on macOS

Spawning child processes in an Electron application with a hardened runtime has become slow in macOS Big Sur. This patch is a cherry-pick of libuv/libuv#3064. This patch should be removed when Electron's libuv version is updated to a version containing this fix.
