[PR] Fix #18311: isProcessAlive incorrectly reports process as dead when kill -0 returns stderr [dolphinscheduler]

KaiSong-UK opened a new pull request, #18419:
URL: https://github.com/apache/dolphinscheduler/pull/18419

   ## Description
   
   Fixes #18311.
   
   When `kill -0 <pid>` returns exit code 0 but with non-empty stderr (e.g., "Operation not permitted"), `AbstractShell.runCommand()` throws `ExitCodeException` because it treats any non-empty stderr as an error. This causes `isProcessAlive()` to catch the exception and return `false`, incorrectly reporting the process as dead.
   
   ## Root Cause
   
   In `AbstractShell.runCommand()`:
   ```java
   if (exitCode != 0 || errMsg.length() > 0) {
       throw new ExitCodeException(exitCode, errMsg.toString());
   }
   ```
   
   This throws `ExitCodeException` even when `exitCode == 0` but stderr has output. `kill -0` on many systems will write "Operation not permitted" to stderr when called without full permissions, while still returning exit code 0 (process exists).
   
   ## Fix
   
   Catch `ExitCodeException` explicitly in `isProcessAlive()` and check the exit code:
   - Exit code 0: process is alive (return `true`)
   - Non-zero exit code: process is dead (return `false`)
   - Other exceptions: process is dead (return `false`)
   
   ## Changes
   
   - Modified 1 file: `ProcessUtils.java`
   - Added import for `AbstractShell.ExitCodeException`
   - Updated `isProcessAlive()` to handle `ExitCodeException` with exit code check
   
   Closes #18311
