Comment (by dcf):

 So what I'm going to do is make terminateprocess-buffer set
 TOR_PT_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE=1, and modify meek-client-torbrowser to obey
 that environment variable instead of having a special --exit-on-stdin-eof
 flag. So you can think of terminateprocess-buffer as now being just a
 compatibility shim that simulates support for TOR_PT_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE
 for versions of tor that don't have it. We can get rid of
 terminateprocess-buffer once a tor with TOR_PT_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE lands
 in Tor Browser.
