Simple example for a producer/consumer using pipes

Illustrates how a pipe is just a byte buffer and the consumer can process async, as bytes are received. In this example the consumer is using newlines as the signal (via `lines()`) to read from stdin.

The consumer output will happen every 2 seconds, showing that it's not waiting for the producer to finish.

```sh

$ cargo build --release --bins

$ ./target/release/producer -w 2s "This is test {{i}}" | ./target/release/consumer "Consumer: "

Consumer: This is test 0

Consumer: This is test 1

Consumer: This is test 2

Consumer: This is test 3

Consumer: This is test 4

```

To see the two output streams interleaved:

```sh

$ ./target/release/producer -w 2s "This is test {{i}}" | tee /dev/fd/2 | ./target/release/consumer "Consumer: "

This is test 0

Consumer: This is test 0

This is test 1

Consumer: This is test 1

This is test 2

Consumer: This is test 2

This is test 3

Consumer: This is test 3

This is test 4

Consumer: This is test 4

```
