gspawn: Avoid considering out parameters as inputs

Browse Source 
The g_spawn_async_with_pipes_and_fds() API changes its behavior
depending on the states of out parameters. Apart from the philosophical
inconsistency, this poses some real problems, e.g. in Lua bindings:

    https://github.com/lgi-devs/lgi/issues/277

This adds three new spawn flags to allow specifying the wanted behavior
explicitly and does not assert on the state of the output parameters.
