/*
Start starts the passed-in *exec.Cmd command.  It wraps the command in a *gexec.Session.

The session pipes the command's stdout and stderr to two *gbytes.Buffers available as properties on the session: session.Out and session.Err.
These buffers can be used with the gbytes.Say matcher to match against unread output:

	Ω(session.Out).Should(gbytes.Say("foo-out"))
	Ω(session.Err).Should(gbytes.Say("foo-err"))

In addition, Session satisfies the gbytes.BufferProvider interface and provides the stdout *gbytes.Buffer.  This allows you to replace the first line, above, with:

	Ω(session).Should(gbytes.Say("foo-out"))

When outWriter and/or errWriter are non-nil, the session will pipe stdout and/or stderr output both into the session *gybtes.Buffers and to the passed-in outWriter/errWriter.
This is useful for capturing the process's output or logging it to screen.  In particular, when using Ginkgo it can be convenient to direct output to the GinkgoWriter:

	session, err := Start(command, GinkgoWriter, GinkgoWriter)

This will log output when running tests in verbose mode, but - otherwise - will only log output when a test fails.

The session wrapper is responsible for waiting on the *exec.Cmd command.  You *should not* call command.Wait() yourself.
Instead, to assert that the command has exited you can use the gexec.Exit matcher:

	Ω(session).Should(gexec.Exit())

When the session exits it closes the stdout and stderr gbytes buffers.  This will short circuit any
Eventuallys waiting fo the buffers to Say something.
