This patch adds a way to close a range of file descriptors on
posix_spawn as a new file action. The API is similar to the one
provided by Solaris 11 [1], where the file action causes the all open
file descriptors greater than or equal to input on to be closed when
the new process is spawned.
The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np is safe to be
implemented by iterating over /proc/self/fd, since the Linux spawni.c
helper process does not use CLONE_FILES, so its has own file descriptor
table and any failure (in /proc operation) aborts the process creation
and returns an error to the caller.
I am aware that this file action might be redundant to the current
approach of POSIX in promoting O_CLOEXEC in more interfaces. However
O_CLOEXEC is still not the default and for some specific usages, the
caller needs to close all possible file descriptors to avoid them
leaking. Some examples are CPython (discussed in BZ#10353) and OpenJDK
jspawnhelper [2] (where OpenJDK spawns a helper process to exactly
closes all file descriptors). Most likely any environment which calls
functions that might open file descriptor under the hood and aim to use
posix_spawn might face the same requirement.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:

Along with posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir,
posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir is the subject of a change proposal
for POSIX: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1208>
The types affected are __sig_atomic_t, sig_atomic_t, __sigset_t,
sigset_t, sigval_t, sigevent_t, and siginfo_t. __sig_atomic_t is a
scalar, so it's now directly available from bits/types.h. The others
get bits/types/ headers.
Side effects include: There have been small changes to which
non-signal headers expose which subset of the signal-related types.
A couple of architectures' nested siginfo_t fields had to be renamed
to prevent undesired macro expansion. Internal code that wants to
manipulate signal masks must now include <sigsetops.h> (which is not
installed) and should be aware that __sigaddset, __sigandset,
__sigdelset, __sigemptyset, and __sigorset no longer return a value
(unlike the public API). Relatedly, the public signal.h no longer
declares any of those functions. The obsolete sigmask() macro no
longer has a system-specific definition -- in the cases where it
matters, it didn't work anyway.
New Linux architectures should create bits/siginfo-arch.h and/or
bits/siginfo-consts-arch.h to customize their siginfo_t, rather than
duplicating everything in bits/siginfo.h (which no longer exists).
Add new __SI_* macros if necessary. Ports to other operating systems
are strongly encouraged to generalize this scheme further.
