Merge branch 'js/forkexec'

* js/forkexec:
  Use the asyncronous function infrastructure to run the content filter.
  Avoid a dup2(2) in apply_filter() - start_command() can do it for us.
  t0021-conversion.sh: Test that the clean filter really cleans content.
  upload-pack: Run rev-list in an asynchronous function.
  upload-pack: Move the revision walker into a separate function.
  Use the asyncronous function infrastructure in builtin-fetch-pack.c.
  Add infrastructure to run a function asynchronously.
  upload-pack: Use start_command() to run pack-objects in create_pack_file().
  Have start_command() create a pipe to read the stderr of the child.
  Use start_comand() in builtin-fetch-pack.c instead of explicit fork/exec.
  Use run_command() to spawn external diff programs instead of fork/exec.
  Use start_command() to run content filters instead of explicit fork/exec.
  Use start_command() in git_connect() instead of explicit fork/exec.
  Change git_connect() to return a struct child_process instead of a pid_t.
