process-file instead of call-process in proced.el?

[Filipp Gunbin]

There's this TODO in proced.el:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; - Allow "sudo kill PID", "sudo renice PID"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

WDYT, can we just use process-file instead of call-process?  Then, if
proced is opened from a /sudo:: (or su) buffer, and (setq
proced-signal-function "kill") is set, proced-send-signal "just works"
for processes owned by different user, with no special code in proced.

The simple patch is below.

Filipp.
