run-command: allow capturing of collated output

Some callers, for example server-side hooks which wish to relay hook
output to clients across a transport, want to capture what would
normally print to stderr and do something else with it. Allow that via a
callback.

By calling the callback regardless of whether there's output available,
we allow clients to send e.g. a keepalive if necessary.

Because we expose a strbuf, not a fd or FILE*, there's no need to create
a temporary pipe or similar - we can just skip the print to stderr and
instead hand it to the caller.
