test: system(): backgrounded shell command

These tests are essentially affirming a regression vs Vim. In Vim,
    :echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
returns "foo", because Vim internally wraps the command with shell-specific
syntax to redirect the streams from /dev/null[1].

That can't work in Nvim because we use pipes directly (instead of temp files)
and don't wrap the command with shell-specific redirection syntax.
