The command_close_bidi_pipe() function will insist on closing both
input and output pipes returned by command_bidi_pipe().  With this
change it is possible to close one of the pipes in advance and
pass undef as an argument.

This allows for something like:

  my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = command_bidi_pipe(...);
  print $out "write data";
  close $out;
  # ... do stuff with $in
  command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, undef, $ctx);
Should this part go into the documentation for command_close_bidi_pipe
in Git.pm?
