[Libguestfs] [PATCH v2 1/2] mllib: add new Common_utils.run_commands

Mostly modelled after a snippet implemented in dib, it is an helper
function to run multiple commands in parallel, waiting for all of them
at once, and returning all their exit codes.  It is possible to pass
custom descriptors for collecting stdout and stderr of each command.

Common_utils.run_command is adapted to use few helper methods used by
run_commands, so all the existing code using it keeps working; in
addition, it gets labelled parameters for stdout and stderr FDs.

Add a simple unit tests for them.
