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.
