Auto merge of #75295 - tmiasko:fds, r=Amanieu

Reopen standard file descriptors when they are missing on Unix

The syscalls returning a new file descriptors generally return lowest-numbered
file descriptor not currently opened, without any exceptions for those
corresponding to stdin, sdout, or stderr.

Previously when any of standard file descriptors has been closed before starting
the application, operations on std::io::{stderr,stdin,stdout} were likely to
either succeed while being performed on unrelated file descriptor, or fail with
EBADF which is silently ignored.

Avoid the issue by using /dev/null as a replacement when the standard file
descriptors are missing.

The implementation is based on the one found in musl. It was selected among a
few others on the basis of the lowest overhead in the case when all descriptors
are already present (measured on GNU/Linux).

Closes #57728.
Closes #46981.
Closes #60447.

Benefits:
* Makes applications robust in the absence of standard file descriptors.
* Upholds IntoRawFd / FromRawFd safety contract (which was broken previously).

Drawbacks:
* Additional syscall during startup.
* The standard descriptors might have been closed intentionally.
* Requires /dev/null.

Alternatives:
* Check if stdin, stdout, stderr are opened and provide no-op substitutes in std::io::{stdin,stdout,stderr} without reopening them directly.
* Leave the status quo, expect robust applications to reopen them manually.
