Simplify StreamCapturer for subprocess testing...
Simplify StreamCapturer for subprocess testing Rather than using a transient pipe for each subprocess started, the StreamCapturer now makes a single pipe, and subprocesses redirect their output to it. So long as this works on Windows (I've done brief testing, and os.pipe() seems to be functional), this will hopefully make this much more robust. The recent failures in ShiningPanda on IPython.parallel have been caused by StreamCapturer.

----------
module : ModuleType, optional
The module to load into IPython globals (default: caller)

The namespace to load into IPython user namespace (default: caller)
kwargs : various, optional
Further keyword args are relayed to the IPKernelApp constructor,
allowing configuration of the Kernel. Will only have an effect
on the first embed_kernel call for a given process.
