[PATCHv4 1/9] run_processes_parallel: delimit intermixed task output

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

This commit serves 2 purposes. First this may help the user who
tries to diagnose intermixed process calls. Second this may be used
in a later patch for testing. As the output of a command should not
change visibly except for going faster, grepping for the trace output
seems like a viable testing strategy.
