9e18522328 run-command documentation: fix "memset()" parameter
When initializing the struct async and struct child_process structures,
the documentation suggested "clearing" the structure with '0' instead of
'\0'.  It is enough to use integer zero here.

ce2cf27adc run-command: Redirect stderr to a pipe before redirecting stdout to stderr
With this patch, in the 'start_command' function after forking
we now take care of stderr in the child process before stdout.

This way if 'start_command' is called with a 'child_process'
argument like this:

	.err = -1;
	.stdout_to_stderr = 1;

then stderr will be redirected to a pipe before stdout is
redirected to stderr. So we can now get the process' stdout
from the pipe (as well as its stderr).

Earlier such a call would have redirected stdout to stderr
before stderr was itself redirected, and therefore stdout
would not have followed stderr, which would not have been
very useful anyway.

Update documentation in 'api-run-command.txt' accordingly.

530e741c72 Start preparing the API documents.
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.

I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.
