In a later patch we enable parallel processing of submodules, this
only adds the possibility for it. So this change should not change
any user facing behavior.

This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.
To detect when a child has finished executing, we check interleaved
with other actions (such as checking the liveliness of children or
starting new processes) whether the stderr pipe still exists. Once a
child closed its stderr stream, we assume it is terminating very soon,
and use `finish_command()` from the single external process execution
interface to collect the exit status.
By maintaining the strong assumption of stderr being open until the
very end of a child process, we can avoid other hassle such as an
implementation using `waitpid(-1)`, which is not implemented in Windows.

The new call will read from a file descriptor into a strbuf once. The
underlying call xread is just run once. xread only reattempts
reading in case of EINTR, which makes it suitable to use for a
nonblocking read.

The man page of read(2) says:
EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket
and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read
would block.
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked
nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001
allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not
require these constants to have the same value, so a portable
application should check for both possibilities.
If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK.
As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite
loop and can only get out with the correct read().

The "Pushing submodule <foo>" progress output correctly goes to
stderr, but "Fetching submodule <foo>" is going to stdout by
mistake. Fix it to write to stderr.
Noticed while trying to implement a parallel submodule fetch. When
this particular output line went to a different file descriptor, it
was buffered separately, resulting in wrongly interleaved output if
we copied it to the terminal naively.

mark_tree_uninteresting() has code to handle the case where it gets

never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it.
