hghave: avoid a deadlock reading the child process's output

The output of `pylint` is voluminous enough that it fills the buffer on Windows,
and waited for the parent to read it out.  But the parent was waiting on the
child to exit.

I'm not sure what the intent of setting `ret = -1` in the exception handler just
above this was...

Set vars:

  $ CONTRIBDIR="$TESTDIR/../contrib"

Test simplemerge command:

  $ cp "$CONTRIBDIR/simplemerge" .
  $ echo base > base
  $ echo local > local
  $ cat base >> local
  $ cp local orig
  $ cat base > other
  $ echo other >> other

changing local directly

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge local base other && echo "merge succeeded"
  merge succeeded
  $ cat local
  local
  base
  other
  $ cp orig local

printing to stdout

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p local base other
  local
  base
  other

local:

  $ cat local
  local
  base

conflicts

  $ cp base conflict-local
  $ cp other conflict-other
  $ echo not other >> conflict-local
  $ echo end >> conflict-local
  $ echo end >> conflict-other

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p conflict-local base conflict-other
  base
  <<<<<<< conflict-local
  not other
  =======
  other
  >>>>>>> conflict-other
  end

1 label

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p -L foo conflict-local base conflict-other
  base
  <<<<<<< foo
  not other
  =======
  other
  >>>>>>> conflict-other
  end
  [1]

2 labels

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p -L foo -L bar conflict-local base conflict-other
  base
  <<<<<<< foo
  not other
  =======
  other
  >>>>>>> bar
  end
  [1]

3 labels

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p -L foo -L bar -L base conflict-local base conflict-other
  base
  <<<<<<< foo
  not other
  end
  ||||||| base
  =======
  other
  end
  >>>>>>> bar
  [1]

too many labels

  $ $PYTHON simplemerge -p -L foo -L bar -L baz -L buz conflict-local base conflict-other
  abort: can only specify three labels.

  $ $PYTHON -c "f = open('binary-local', 'w'); f.write('\x00'); f.close()"
