tests: terminate subprocess in test-stdio.py in case of exception
If an error happened while reading the output of the subprocess, the pipe / TTY
buffer can fill up and prevent that the subprocess ends. Therefore we should
terminate the subprocess in case of an exception.

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.
