since there is no easy way to detect whether open honored or ignored
the O_CLOEXEC flag, the optimal solution to providing a fallback is
simply to make the fcntl syscall to set the close-on-exec flag
immediately after open returns.

open is handled specially because it is used from so many places, in
so many variants (2 or 3 arguments, setting errno or not, and
cancellable or not). trying to do it as a function would not only
increase bloat, but would also risk subtle breakage.

this is the first step towards supporting "new" archs where linux
lacks "old" syscalls.

this header evolved to facilitate the extremely lazy practice of
omitting explicit includes of the necessary headers in individual
stdio source files; not only was this sloppy, but it also increased
build time.

now, stdio_impl.h is only including the headers it needs for its own
use; any further headers needed by source files are included directly
where needed.
