This issue happens under two conditions.
  1. Unicode language environment in Windows
  2. Call 'edksetup.bat forcerebuild' with python subprocess.call()

Steps to reproduce
  C:\edk2>python
  Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:24:40)
  Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
  >>> import subprocess
  >>> subprocess.call(['edksetup.bat', 'forcerebuild'])

  The edksetup.bat stuck at 'nmake cleanall'.

One of multi-threads is on deadlock when python handles stdout and
stderr in a subprocess pipe only if the outputs include unicode chars.
Only stderr will be handled in the pipe same as a single thread call.
