Add From<u8> for ExitCode

This should cover a mostly cross-platform subset of supported exit codes.

We decided to stick with `u8` initially since its the common subset between all platforms that we support (excluding wasm which I think only works with `true` or `false`). Posix is supposed to take i32s, but in practice many unix platforms mask out all but the low 8 bits or in some cases the 8-15th bits. Windows takes a u32 instead of an i32. Bourne-compatible shells also report signals as exitcode 128 + `signal_no`, so there's some ambiguity there when returning exit codes > 127, but it is possible to disambiguate them on the other side so we decided against restricting the possible codes further than to `u8`.
