Closes #1044
This separates stdout from stderr in
emp run
, so thatemp run
can be used with existing UNIX tools more easily.Implementation wise, the endpoint for running one-offs now multiplexes stdout/stderr over the same TCP connection, and the client de-multiplexes it before writing it to the terminal's stdout/stderr. The multiplex/de-multiplex is done using the stdcopy, which is pulled from Docker's internals.
This is 100% backwards compatible. Older clients will receive the combined stream, while newer clients (those that send
X-Multiplex: 1
in the headers), will get a multiplexed stream. And inversely, new clients talking with an older daemon will continue to handle the combined stream.
