tests: proof test-stdio.py against buffer fill-up With the previous code, it could in theory happen that the pipe / PTY buffer of the child stdout / stderr fills up and the process never finishes. To prevent that, we read all of the stream before waiting for the end of the process. To ensure that the stream reaches EOF when the child finishes, we must close the parent "copy" of the child stdout / stderr.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
