Fix zombie processes left by <action> tag and low battery action

This effectively reverts c54d93e and 991a168. While those fix #687 and
#688 respectively in the case where the configuration is recompiled, in
all other cases they leave zombie processes, since they undo the fix for
#181.

However, instead of reverting to the deprecated system function, we use
the newer spawnCommand and waitForProcess. And like with 991a168, the
low battery action now runs in the background to avoid blocking the bar.
