Mitchell Hentges 40e9f7a3d6 Bug 1759585: Avoid hang in ./mach configure r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,nalexander
Depending on the subprocesses created (such as if
`--with-ccache=sccache` is set), `./mach configure` may hang.

More details about why this is is documented in bug 1753797.

The workaround is to lean on the standard library to stream-and-format
output, rather than our existing `ProcessHandler` code.

Though this still streams both `stdout` and `stderr` in real-time, I saw
some ordering differences between the two streams locally. I don't yet
have a reason to believe that these differences are harmful or otherwise
incorrect.
