Add comment explaining background thread usage for plugin calls (#7878)
~~I happened to be reviewing our uses of `thread::spawn()` and came to
the conclusion that we're spawning a thread unnecessarily for plugin
calls. We were basically doing this:~~

~~1. Spawn a background thread to send data to the plugin over stdin~~
~~2. Immediately do a blocking wait for the plugin's response~~

~~As far as I can tell, there's no point in spawning a thread for 1 (and
it may harm error handling) given that we're blocking right away for the
response.~~

**Update:** the logic is correct, as confirmed by @WindSoilder

I've added a comment explaining the thread usage.
