Improve handling of nagbar processes
Other changes in nagbar_exited:
- Remove ERROR from ELOG as it shows up as "ERROR: ERROR:"
- Make sure to reset the PID even when the process did not exit
normally.
- Use ELOG when exitcode != 0
- Remove the not found error: if nagbar is not in $PATH, exec_i3_utility
prints an error as well.

For the record, I also implemented a more complicated approach with a
new watcher data structure:
bd3aaf3a33
While writing the commit message, it occurred to me to compare
watcher->pid with *watcher->data, which fixes the problems mentioned in
that patch.

Fixes #4104

┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Release notes for i3 v4.19 │
└──────────────────────────────┘
This is i3 v4.19. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
In this release, we switched from the autotools build system to the meson build
system (https://mesonbuild.com/). Check https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/4086 for
details. If this causes problems for you, you can revert the commit which
removed autotools from the tree: we tried our best to keep both build systems
working. Please reach out to us in that case!
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Changes in i3 v4.19 │
└────────────────────────────┘
• configure: respect --program-suffix
• use exec to avoid leaving useless shell process
• ipc: always include the marks property (even if empty)
• introduce “tiling_from” and ”floating_from” criteria
• make dock client order deterministic (sorted by class/instance) as a
side effect, i3bars without an explicit bar-id will be sorted according
to their definition order in the config file
• update i3bar config when necessary (reduces redraws on bar mode changes)
• mention rofi in default config file
