pythongh-83925: Make asyncio.subprocess communicate similar to non-as…

…yncio (python#18650)

subprocess's communicate(None) closes stdin of the child process, after
sending no (extra) data. Make asyncio variant do the same.
This fixes issues with processes that waits for EOF on stdin before
continuing.
