We run the sideband demultiplexer in an asynchronous function.

Note that earlier there was a check in the child process that closed xd[1] only if it was different from xd[0]; this test is no longer needed because git_connect() always returns two different file descriptors (see ec587fde0a76780931c7ac32474c8c000aa45134).
