f09592a5d1 io: Implement process wait timeouts
This implements set_timeout() for std::io::Process which will affect wait()
operations on the process. This follows the same pattern as the rest of the
timeouts emerging in std::io::net.

The implementation was super easy for everything except libnative on unix
(backwards from usual!), which required a good bit of signal handling. There's a
doc comment explaining the strategy in libnative. Internally, this also required
refactoring the "helper thread" implementation used by libnative to allow for an
extra helper thread (not just the timer).

This is a breaking change in terms of the io::Process API. It is now possible
for wait() to fail, and subsequently wait_with_output(). These two functions now
return IoResult<T> due to the fact that they can time out.

Additionally, the wait_with_output() function has moved from taking `&mut self`
to taking `self`. If a timeout occurs while waiting with output, the semantics
are undesirable in almost all cases if attempting to re-wait on the process.
Equivalent functionality can still be achieved by dealing with the output
handles manually.

68c2706780 native: Ignore SIGPIPE by default
Some unix platforms will send a SIGPIPE signal instead of returning EPIPE from a
syscall by default. The native runtime doesn't install a SIGPIPE handler,
causing the program to die immediately in this case. This brings the behavior in
line with libgreen by ignoring SIGPIPE and propagating EPIPE upwards to the
application in the form of an IoError.
