doc: remove confusing note about child process stdio

It’s not obvious what the paragraph is supposed to say.
In particular, whether and what kind of buffering mechanism
a process uses for its stdio streams does not affect that,

that was sent to it.

process will block waiting for the pipe buffer to accept more data. This is
identical to the behavior of pipes in the shell. Use the `{ stdio: 'ignore' }`
option if the output will not be consumed.
It is possible to stream data through these pipes in a non-blocking way. Note,
however, that some programs use line-buffered I/O internally. While that does
not affect Node.js, it can mean that data sent to the child process may not be
immediately consumed.
The [`child_process.spawn()`][] method spawns the child process asynchronously,
without blocking the Node.js event loop. The [`child_process.spawnSync()`][]
