[Log4j] ProcessIdUtil

Regarding https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2126

Why is ProcessIdUtil in log4j-api in the first place? It is only used 
from log4j-core. Can't we move it to log4j-core?

I think that in general, we have too much things in log4j-api, and that 
causes problems like this.

I suggest that next time we want to add a Java 9 version of something 
not actuallly used in log4j-api, we create a Java 9 version of 
log4j-core and put it there.

It is there because there is a Java 9 version of it and I did not want to make multiple Java 9 modules.
