it was moved from a separate crate to a 'process' feature in the main 
tokio crate. there are a few more like this[1], and they can all be RMed 
once we upload tokio 1.x (plus the remaining related/supporting crates 
tokio-util, tokio-macros, tokio-stream, bytes, mio, tracing, ..).

crates:

tokio-buf
tokio-codec
tokio-core
tokio-current-thread
tokio-executor
tokio-fs
tokio-io
tokio-process
tokio-reactor
tokio-signal
tokio-sync

tokio-threadpool
tokio-timer
tokio-udp
tokio-uds
