Testing a Click app with streaming input
— For [sqlite-utils#364](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/364) I needed to write a test for a [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/) app which dealt with input streamed to standard input. I needed to run some assertions during that process, which ruled out the usual [CliRunner.invoke()](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.0.x/testing/) testing tool since that works by running the command until completion.
