doc: update the deprecation for exit code to clarify its scope
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This updates the deprecation, DEP0164, to clarify its scope.

Previously, `process.exitCode` wasn't mentioned but it needs
to be applied with the same deprecation because its meaning
is the same as the `code` value and it's overridden with the
`code` value in `process.exit()`.
