In handshake_capabilities() we use warning() when a capability
is not supported, so the exit code of the function is 0 and no
further error is shown. This is a problem because the warning
message doesn't tell us which subprocess cmd failed.

On the contrary if we cannot write a packet from this function,
we use error() and then subprocess_start() outputs:

     initialization for subprocess '<cmd>' failed

so we can know which subprocess cmd failed.

Let's improve the warning() message, so that we can know which
subprocess cmd failed.

Change since previous version:

   - Use process->argv[0] instead of adding a new parameter to
     handshake_capabilities(), thanks to Lars.

This one is even cleaner. Thanks Lars for pointing out the fact we already had the cmd name. Looks good.
