signal mask was not being restored after fork, but instead blocked again.

__release_ptc() is only valid in the parent; if it's performed in the
child, the lock will be unlocked early then double-unlocked later,
corrupting the lock state.

since we target systems without overcommit, special care should be
taken that system() and popen(), like posix_spawn(), do not fail in
processes whose commit charges are too high to allow ordinary forking.
this in turn requires special precautions to ensure that the parent
process's signal handlers do not end up running in the shared-memory
child, where they could corrupt the state of the parent process.
popen has also been updated to use pipe2, so it does not have a
fd-leak race in multi-threaded programs. since pipe2 is missing on
older kernels, (non-atomic) emulation has been added.
some silly bugs in the old code should be gone too.

close was the only cancellation point called from popen, but it left
popen with major resource leaks if any call to close got cancelled.
the easiest, cheapest fix is just to use a non-cancellable close
function.

also check for failure of dup2 and abort the child rather than
reading/writing the wrong file.
