start_command(), .in/.out/.err = -1: Callers must close the file descriptor

By setting .in, .out, or .err members of struct child_process to -1, the
callers of start_command() can request that a pipe is allocated that talks
to the child process and one end is returned by replacing -1 with the
file descriptor.

Previously, a flag was set (for .in and .out, but not .err) to signal
finish_command() to close the pipe end that start_command() had handed out,
so it was optional for callers to close the pipe, and many already do so.
Now we make it mandatory to close the pipe.
