Merge branch 'js/run-command-updates'

* js/run-command-updates:
  api-run-command.txt: describe error behavior of run_command functions
  run-command.c: squelch a "use before assignment" warning
  receive-pack: remove unnecessary run_status report
  run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don't
  run_command: encode deadly signal number in the return value
  run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
  run_command: return exit code as positive value
  MinGW: simplify waitpid() emulation macros
