Reopen standard streams when they are closed on Unix

The syscalls returning a new file descriptors generally use
lowest-numbered file descriptor not currently opened, without any
exceptions for those corresponding to the standard streams.

Previously when any of standard streams has been closed before starting
the application, operations on std::io::{stderr,stdin,stdout} objects
were likely to operate on other logically unrelated file resources
opened afterwards.

Avoid the issue by reopening the standard streams when they are closed.
