Subject: [PATCH] fix(runtime): runtime crashes with EAGAIN trying to read from
 STDIN

When using node >= 13.2, attempts to synchronously read from STDIN often
result in `EAGAIN` being raised. This is due to the STDIN file
descriptor being opened with `O_NONBLOCK`.

This introduces a temporary workaround that catches the EAGAIN exception
and re-attempts reading from STDIN "immediately". While this is not the
ideal solution, it can be done right away and appears to have minimal
impact on the overall performance of applications.

A longer term fix is to move away from synchronous IO operations, but
this is a significantly mroe involved fix and migth be a while before
this can be delivered. The long term solution is tracked in #1142.
