[PATCH v7 13/13] t1800: test SIGPIPE with parallel hooks

<20260410090608.75283-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>
From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

We recently fixed a bug in commit 2226ffaacd (run_processes_parallel(): fix order of sigpipe handling, 2026-04-08) where a hook that caused us to get SIGPIPE would accidentally trigger the run_processes_parallel() cleanup handler killing the child processes.

For a single hook, this meant killing the already-exited hook. This case was triggered by our tests, but was only a problem on some platforms.

But if you have multiple hooks running in parallel, this causes a problem everywhere, since one hook failing to read its input would take down all hooks. Now that we have parallel hook support, we can add a test for this case. It should pass already, due to the existing fix.
