run-command: allow stdin for run_processes_parallel
While it makes sense not to inherit stdin from the parent process to
avoid deadlocking, it's not necessary to completely ban stdin to
children. An informed user should be able to configure stdin safely. By
setting `some_child.process.no_stdin=1` before calling `get_next_task()`
we provide a reasonable default behavior but enable users to set up
stdin streaming for themselves during the callback.
`some_child.process.stdout_to_stderr`, however, remains unmodifiable by
`get_next_task()` - the rest of the run_processes_parallel() API depends
on child output in stderr.
