Introduce helper functions for safe fork+exec of processes

In some situations, we want to execute an external shell command
in a non-blocking way.  Similar to 'system', but without waiting for
the child to complete.  We also want to close all file descriptors
ahead of the exec() and filter + modify the environment.
