Max Kellermann e3af0032b2 set the close-on-exec flag on all file descriptors ...

Added the "fd_util" library, which attempts to use the new thread-safe
Linux system calls pipe2(), accept4() and the options O_CLOEXEC,
SOCK_CLOEXEC.  Without these, it falls back to FD_CLOEXEC, which is
not thread safe.

This is particularly important for the "pipe" output plugin (and
others, such as JACK/PulseAudio), because we were heavily leaking file
descriptors to child processes.
