Help: describe the command pipeline of execute_process more explicitly
When reading the doc page on execute_process, I was mislead by the
words "in parallel". They convinced at once that the processes
are run independently of each other, so that I did not even bother
to read further. The rewording, and not least the insertion of a
paragraph break, should prevent such oversight.
