    gspawn: fix hangs when duping child_err_report_fd
    
    In case child_err_report_fd conflicts with one of the target_fds, the
    code here is careful to dup child_err_report_fd in order to avoid
    conflating the two. It was a good idea, but evidently was not tested,
    because the newly-created fd is not created with CLOEXEC set. This means
    it stays open in the child process, causing the parent to hang forever
    waiting to read from the other end of the pipe. Oops!
    
    The fix is simple: just set CLOEXEC. This removes our only usage of the
    safe_dup() function, so it can be dropped.
    
    Fixes #2506
