System.Process.runInteractiveProcess needs a way to pipe just some handles
Currently runInteractiveProcess
attaches pipes to all 3 standard handles. Sometimes it's necessary to attach pipes to a subset, and possibly pass in existing Handles for the others. For example this could be used to connect a sequence of processes together with pipes. Also see Distribution.Simple.Utils.rawSystemStdout.
While we're here, we could add a more convenient popen-like API.
