m2ee still doesn't work as great inside supervisor/etc.

[hevisko]

This is even more... challenging, when using Ansible ;(

I've made a PR (but seems it's included in my pg_restore commits/PR ;( ) that makes a small change to m2ee(.py) to have a m2ee-pipe command be executing in the same why when piped or on "terminal", ie. easier for Ansible playbooks: 5cc3f95 #70
