run-command: add stdin callback for parallelization

If a user of the run_processes_parallel() API wants to pipe a large
amount of information to the stdin of each parallel command, that
data could exceed the pipe buffer of the process's stdin and can be
too big to store in-memory via strbuf & friends or to slurp to a file.

Generally this is solved by repeatedly writing to child_process.in
between calls to start_command() and finish_command(). For a specific
pre-existing example of this, see transport.c:run_pre_push_hook().

This adds a generic callback API to run_processes_parallel() to do
exactly that in a unified manner, similar to the existing callback APIs,
which can then be used by hooks.h to convert the remaining hooks to the
new, simpler parallel interface.
