When we spawn "git submodule status" to read its output, we use run_command() followed by strbuf_read() read from the pipe. This can deadlock if the subprocess output is larger than the system pipe buffer. Furthermore, if start_command() fails, we'll try to read from a bogus descriptor (probably "-1" or a descriptor we just closed, but it is a bad idea for us to make assumptions about how start_command implements its error handling). And if start_command succeeds, we leak the file descriptor for the pipe to the child. All of these can be solved by using the capture_command helper.
