Rollup merge of #40122 - robinst:process-add-example-for-writing-to-stdin, r=alexcrichton

Example for how to provide stdin using std::process::Command

Spawning a child process and writing to its stdin is a bit tricky due to
`as_mut` and having to use a limited borrow. An example for this might
help newer users.
