pkg/tool/exec: Run does not exececute shell commands
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It has always been an abstraction over os/exec.Command, that is,
directly calling a program with some arguments and not a shell.
The top-level godoc was misleading users into thinking
they could use shell syntax like pipes or redirections.

While here, make the cmd docs a bit clearer as well.
