review: refuse a process named ".", ".." or with a leading dash, so removing one cannot delete the mesh's own directory (hq ADR 0118)

removeProcess deletes filepath.Join(daemonRoot, name) whole; a process named ".." made that
/var/lib/mesh. The declaration and the removal now hold the name to one rule.
