We already have the ability to start a subprocess and hook it up to a
Socket, for running local proxy commands. Now the same facility is
available as an auxiliary feature, so that a backend can start another
subcommand for a different purpose, and make a separate Socket to
communicate with it.
Just like the local proxy system, this facility captures the
subprocess's stderr, and passes it back to the caller via plug_log. To
make that not look silly, I had to add a system where the "proxy:"
prefix on the usual plug_log messages is reconfigurable, and when you
call platform_start_subprocess(), you get to pass the prefix you want
to use in this case.
