Details:

It would be good if you could write to a process created with hook_process -
something like:

weechat_hook_process_write(process, data)

so that it's the same as if you wrote to the process's STDIN.

I was trying to make a plugin that let you run programs in a weechat window,
but without this, it isn't possible as a script. The alternative would be to
use popen but then you lose the callback, and would have to fork or use a
thread to monitor the process.
