        This constructor creates a new BgJob, and uses Popen to start a new
        subprocess with given command. It returns without blocking on execution
        of the subprocess.

        After starting a new BgJob, use output_prepare to connect the process's
        stdout and stderr pipes to the stream of your choice.

        When the job is running, the jobs's output streams are only read from
        when process_output is called.

        @param command: command to be executed in new subprocess. May be either
                        a list, or a string (in which case Popen will be called
                        with shell=True)

                           base_utils.TEE_TO_LOGS and the output will handled by
                           the standard logging_manager.
        @param stderr_tee: Same as stdout_tee, but for stderr.
        @param verbose: Boolean, make BgJob logging more verbose.
        @param stdin: Stream object, will be passed to Popen as the new
                      process's stdin.
        @param stderr_level: A logging level value. If stderr_tee was set to
                             base_utils.TEE_TO_LOGS, sets the level that tee'd
                             stderr output will be logged at. Ignored
                             otherwise.
        @param nickname: Optional string, to be included in logging messages
        @param no_pipes: Boolean, default False. If True, this subprocess
                         created by this BgJob does NOT use subprocess.PIPE
                         for its stdin or stderr streams. Instead, these
                         streams are connected to the logging manager
