std: Don't always create stdin for children

For example if `Command::output` or `Command::status` is used then stdin is just
immediately closed. Add an option for this so as an optimization we can avoid
creating pipes entirely.

This should help reduce the number of active file descriptors when spawning
processes on Unix and the number of active handles on Windows.
