test: stdio pipe behavior tests

Add two regression tests for stdio over pipes. test-stdio-pipe-access tests if accessing stdio pipe that is being read by another process does not deadlocks Node.js. This was reported in #10836 and was fixed in v8.3.0. The deadlock would happen intermittently, so we run the test 5 times. test-stdio-pipe-redirect tests if redirecting one child process stdin to another process stdout does not crash Node as reported in #17493. It was fixed in #18019.
