Description
Python’s subprocess module has a STDOUT constant that can be passed as the stderr for a command, indicating that stderr and stdout of the child should be the same stream. This is equivalent to some command 2>&1 in bash.
This functionality could be added to std::process::Stdio with a new fn stdout() -> Self constructor method that returns a value that can only be used with Command::stderr. (Using it with Command::stdout or Command::stdin would panic cause Command::spawn to return an error.)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the requested Stdio::stdout constructor and the existing std::process::Stdio, Command::stderr, Command::stdout, and Command::stdin APIs. Determine the intended behavior for valid and invalid stream combinations, then document the design in an RFC; done means the proposal has a settled API and error semantics.
