In practice I'm not sure `ftruncate` could fail unless the kernel is already on fire but no reason not to fix the leak anyway.
We were accidentally importing at least one Linux-specific header, which made NOOP not work. To make sure NOOP keeps working, let's move everything it doesn't need inside the ifdef -- this way it'll be very obvious what's being compiled for NOOP and what's not.
Really well-spotted by @jbachorik .

What does this PR do?
This PR collects a few more improvements to the process context C/C++ impl:
Motivation:
These came up as we were adding process context support to Datadog's dd-trace-java profiler in DataDog/java-profiler#414 .
Additional Notes:
I've considered if the encoder should follow the design of the decoder and always check the position of the pointer... It'd be a bigger change so I hesitated in going for it.
How to test the change?
The no-op implementation build validates the minimal set of headers is correct; for the other changes the build still passes and the example script works fine.
