os/exec: Unclear documentation #6839

@bamiaux

Description

@bamiaux
os/exec documentation does not mention whether one *must* eventually call Cmd.Wait() on
a *exec.Cmd which has been started with Start().
Looking at the code, it seems to be closing descriptors, so system descriptors may not
be released correctly if we never call Cmd.Wait().
