process: keep process prototype in inheritance chain

The global `process` object had its prototype replaced with a
fresh object that had `EventEmitter.prototype` as its prototype.
With this change, the original `process.constructor.prototype` is
modified to have `EventEmitter.prototype` as its prototype, reflecting
that `process` objects are also `EventEmitter`s.
