src: remap invalid file descriptors using dup2

When checking for the validity of the stdio file descriptors
(nodejs#875), ones which don't exist are intended to be remapped to
/dev/null (and, if that doesn't work, we abort).

This however doesn't work on all platforms and in all cases (e.g.
/dev/null could already have been opened by the acting process and not
actually be mapped to the expected file descriptor); instead, use the
`dup2` syscall as a more robust solution (conforms to POSIX.1).

Fixes: nodejs/help#2411
