doc: remove confusing note about child process stdio
It’s not obvious what the paragraph is supposed to say. In particular, whether and what kind of buffering mechanism a process uses for its stdio streams does not affect that, in general, no guarantees can be made about when it consumes data that was sent to it.

identical to the behavior of pipes in the shell. Use the `{ stdio: 'ignore' }`

-It is possible to stream data through these pipes in a non-blocking way. Note,

The [`child_process.spawn()`][] method spawns the child process asynchronously,
