Thanks Stefan.

This is a change that I have wanted to make for a very long time!

However, I would change the following not-really-Lisp_Object fields as well:

         unsigned pty_flag : 1;
           == !NILP (pty_flag)

         unsigned inherit_coding_system_flag : 1;
           == !NILP (inherit_coding_system_flag)

         unsigned read_output_skip : 1;
           == !NILP (read_output_skip)

         int read_output_delay;
           == XINT (read_output_delay)

The adaptive_read_buffering field could be replaced by two new
fields (which would also improve code readability):

       unsigned adaptive_read_buffering : 1;
          == !NILP (Vprocess_adaptive_read_buffering);
         
       unsigned adaptive_read_buffering_clear_on_write : 1;
          == EQ (Vprocess_adaptive_read_buffering, Qt)

I also noticed that the field encoding_carryover is no longer used,
so it can be deleted.
