562b28821e posix_spawn(): Do not fail when trying to close an fd that is not open.
As noted in Austin Group issue #370 (an interpretation has been issued),
failing posix_spawn() because an fd specified with
posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose() is not open is unnecessarily harsh, and
there are existing implementations that do not fail posix_spawn() for this
reason.

c605eea952 Turn execvpe() into an internal libc routine.
Adding exevpe() has caused some ports to break. Even though execvpe() is
a useful routine, it does not conform to any standards.

This patch is a little bit different from the patch sent to the mailing
list. I forgot to remove execvpe from the Symbol.map (which does not
seem to miscompile libc, though).

947aa542e9 Add POSIX routines called posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp(), which
can be used as replacements for exec/fork in a lot of cases. This
change also added execvpe() which allows environment variable
PATH to be used for searching executable file, it is used for
implementing posix_spawnp().
