  /* The generic POSIX.1 implementation of posix_spawn uses fork and exec.
     In traditional POSIX systems (Unix, Linux, etc), the only way to
     create a new process is by fork, which also copies all the things from
     the parent process that will be immediately wiped and replaced by the
     exec.

     This Hurd implementation works by doing an exec on a fresh task,
     without ever doing all the work of fork.  The only work done by fork
     that remains visible after an exec is registration with the proc
     server, and the inheritance of various values and ports.  All those
     inherited values and ports are what get collected up and passed in the
     file_exec_paths RPC by an exec call.  So we do the proc server
     registration here, following the model of fork (see fork.c).  We then
     collect up the inherited values and ports from this (parent) process
     following the model of exec (see hurd/hurdexec.c), modify or replace each
     value that fork would (plus the specific changes demanded by ATTRP and
     FILE_ACTIONS), and make the file_exec_paths RPC on the requested
     executable file with the child process's task port rather than our own.
     This should be indistinguishable from the fork + exec implementation,
     except that all errors will be detected here (in the parent process)
     and return proper errno codes rather than the child dying with 127.

     XXX The one exception to this supposed indistinguishableness is that
     when posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen has been used, the parent
     process can do various filesystem RPCs on the child's behalf, rather
     than the child process doing it.  If these block due to a broken or
     malicious filesystem server or just a blocked network fs or a serial
     port waiting for carrier detect (!!), the parent's posix_spawn call
     can block arbitrarily rather than just the child blocking.  Possible
     solutions include:
     * punt to plain fork + exec implementation if addopen was used
     ** easy to do
     ** gives up all benefits of this implementation in that case
     * if addopen was used, don't do any file actions at all here;
       instead, exec an installed helper program e.g.:
	/libexec/spawn-helper close 3 dup2 1 2 open 0 /file 0x123 0666 exec /bin/foo foo a1 a2
     ** extra exec might be more or less overhead than fork
     * could do some weird half-fork thing where the child would inherit
       our vm and run some code here, but not do the full work of fork

     XXX Actually, the parent opens the executable file on behalf of
     the child, and that has all the same issues.

     I am favoring the half-fork solution.  That is, we do task_create with
     vm inheritance, and we setjmp/longjmp the child like fork does.  But
     rather than all the fork hair, the parent just packs up init/dtable
     ports and does a single IPC to a receive right inserted in the child.  */
