`Stdio` now implements `From<ChildStdin>`, `From<ChildStdout>`,
`From<ChildStderr>`, and `From<File>`.
The `Command::stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` methods now take any type that
implements `Into<Stdio>`.
This makes it much easier to write shell-like command chains, piping to
one another and redirecting to and from files. Otherwise one would need
to use the unsafe and OS-specific `from_raw_fd` or `from_raw_handle`.
This is much nicer for callers who want to short-circuit real I/O errors
with `?`, because they can write this
if let Some(status) = foo.try_wait()? {
...
} else {
...
}
instead of this
match foo.try_wait() {
Ok(status) => {
...
}
Err(err) if err.kind() == io::ErrorKind::WouldBlock => {
...
}
Err(err) => return Err(err),
}
The original design of `try_wait` was patterned after the `Read` and
`Write` traits, which support both blocking and non-blocking
implementations in a single API. But since `try_wait` is never blocking,
it makes sense to optimize for the non-blocking case.
