Subject: [PATCH] doc: update the deprecation for exit code to clarify its
 scope

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()`.
