This enables plug_log to run query methods on the socket in order to
find out useful information to log. I don't expect it's sensible to do
anything else with it.
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.
While I'm in the mood for cleaning up the top-level directory here:
all the 'nostuff.c' files have moved into a new 'stubs' directory, and
I broke up be_misc.c into smaller modules that can live in 'utils'.
