eldritch horrors 2c176afa7a libutil: don't allow interactive runProgram2
realistically only runProgram is ever called for interactive reasons,
and even those calls seem to be rather ill-advised in many cases. the
chance of multiple interactive processes interfering with each other,
whether for input or for output, must be very low to make this in any
way reasonable: if e.g. git calls ssh for multiple fetched inputs and
ssh requests passphrases for both we can otherwise not guarantee that
*any* input is routed correctly. misrouted output is merely annoying.
