Nicholas Marriott 6bca92db4d Rather than running status-left, status-right and window title #() with popen ...

immediately every redraw, queue them up and run them in the background,
starting each once every status-interval. The actual status line uses the
output from the last run.

This brings several advantages:

- tmux itself may be called from inside #() without causing the server to hang;
- likewise, sleep or similar doesn't cause the server to block;
- commands aren't run excessively often when redrawing;
- commands shared by status-left and status-right, or used multiple times, will
  only be run once.

run-shell and if-shell still use system()/popen() but will be changed over to
use this too later.
