pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL. The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either. Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad, although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid them, too. This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for the children without whining at errors.

run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor 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.
