Description

A function very similar to spawn

https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_processexecfilefile-args-options-callback

llrt's child_process module does not have a corresponding sync function, it would be nice if it could be supported

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing `spawn` implementation in the llrt child process module and replicate a similar pattern for `execFile`. Focus on handling the callback pattern and passing arguments correctly.
