Christian Thiemann 830945336f Move runXXX functions to one module
This patch takes runProcessWithInput out of Dmenu, runProcessWithInputAndWait
out of Dzen, and runInXTerm out of RunInXTerm and collects them in one central
module called Run.  This way, other modules may include Run instead of Dmenu
to get what they want without giving the impression of making use of dmenu.
