Stan Hu fd392cd725 Avoid process deadlock in popen by consuming input pipes
A process that spews a lot of output to stderr or stdout could stall out
due to the pipe buffer being full. As described in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9082,
we can use the trick used in Ruby's capture3 function to read the pipes in separate
threads.

Closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/6895

James Edwards-Jones 95640413e6 Gitlab::Git::Popen can lazily hand output to a block
This allows input to start processing immediately without waiting for the process to complete.
This also allows long or infinite inputs to be partially processed,
which will termiate the process when reading stops with SIGPIPE.
