Merge bitcoin#33063: util: Revert "common: Close non-std fds before exec in RunCommandJSON"
faa1c3e Revert "Merge bitcoin#32343: common: Close non-std fds before exec in RunCommandJSON" (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely
call only async-signal-safe functions (see [signal-safety(7)](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html))
until such time as it calls execv.
The standard library (`std` namespace) is not async-signal-safe. Also, `throw`, isn't.
There was an alternative implementation using `readdir` (bitcoin#32529), but that isn't async-signal-safe either, and that implementation was still using `throw`.
So temporarily revert this feature.
A follow-up in the future can add it back, using only async-signal-safe functions, or by using a different approach.
Fixesbitcoin#32524Fixesbitcoin#33015Fixesbitcoin#32855
For reference, a failure can manifest in the GCC debug mode:
* While `fork`ing, a debug mode mutex is held (by any other thread).
* The `fork`ed child tries to use the stdard libary before `execv` and deadlocks.
This may look like the following:
