[PATCH] lei: don't read --stdin terminals from daemon

[Eric Wong <e@80x24.org>]

We must use a foreground process to read from terminals
on stdin, otherwise weird things like lost keystrokes and
EIO can happen.  So take advantage of ->send_exec_cmd to
spawn `cat' in the same way we spawn MUAs, pagers,
`git config --edit' and `git credential' from script/lei
