Shawn O. Pearce b73a439759 run-command: Support sending stderr to /dev/null
Some callers may wish to redirect stderr to /dev/null in some
contexts, such as if they are executing a command only to get
the exit status and don't want users to see whatever output it
may produce as a side-effect of computing that exit status.
