[issue43806] asyncio.StreamReader hangs when reading from pipe and other process exits unexpectedly

[Jonathan Schweder]

@kormang this is an expected behaviour, this is a problem even for the OS level, just because it is impossible to know when the reader needs to stop waiting, the best option here is to implement some timeout mechanism.
