Try and only kill real Orcas with --replace

Colomban Wendling requested to merge cwendling/orca:orca-replace-only-itself into master

Do not recognize as Orcas all process that has the "orca" substring in their program name, but only the ones that have "orca" as their program name -- e.g. don't do approximate matches.

This avoids killing random programs that just happen to have "orca" as a substring somewhere in their program name when using --replace.

I'm not positive how portable the -x pgrep switch is (tested on GNU/Linux, Debian Buster and Bullseye), but something along these lines should work.
