Use .capture3 not .popen3 for external parsers
In my testing, I believe this will fix the frequent timeouts we've seen
happen on specific files.
Like other issues we'd been seeing, these were actually
non-deterministic, they just happened to *almost* always fail. But I did
see them succeed occasionally: this may be partially why I didn't catch
this in testing before the prior release, since I ran it against some of
the same projects we saw failing. I just got lucky the first time
around.
What I saw locally was that sometimes the status thread given by `.open3` would
be dead before it was asked for its value, and in those cases the call
seemed to succeed. If the thread was still alive when asked for its
value, it seemed to then hang indefinitely.
Looking at the code for [`.capture3`][1], the biggest difference seems
to be the use of threads for capturing stdout/stderr. There's even a
warning in [stdlib docs about deadlocking from not doing this][2]! So I
think the previous implementation was effectively equivalent to a poor,
buggy implementation of `.capture3`, and we should just use the real one. It's
unclear to me if the older usage of `IO.popen` also suffered from this
behavior and we just happened to be swallowing it, or if the pipe buffer
behavior is a little different there.
