| * | in pipe2, use pipe() rather than __syscall(SYS_pipe, ...) for fallback•••SYS_pipe is not usable directly in general, since mips has a very
broken calling convention for the pipe syscall. instead, just call the
function, so that the mips-specific ugliness is isolated in
mips/pipe.s and not copied elsewhere.

| * | streamline old-kernel fallback path of pipe2 to use syscalls directly•••also, don't waste code/time on F_GETFL since pipes always have blank
flags initially (at least on old kernels, which are all this fallback
code matters for).

| * | fix double errno-decoding in the old-kernel fallback path of pipe2•••this bug seems to have caused any failure by pipe2 on such systems to
set errno to 1, rather than the proper error code.

| * | overhaul system() and popen() to use vfork; fix various related bugs•••since we target systems without overcommit, special care should be
taken that system() and popen(), like posix_spawn(), do not fail in
processes whose commit charges are too high to allow ordinary forking.
this in turn requires special precautions to ensure that the parent
process's signal handlers do not end up running in the shared-memory
child, where they could corrupt the state of the parent process.
popen has also been updated to use pipe2, so it does not have a
fd-leak race in multi-threaded programs. since pipe2 is missing on
older kernels, (non-atomic) emulation has been added.
some silly bugs in the old code should be gone too.

| * | move accept4, dup3, and pipe2 to non-linux-specific locations•••these interfaces have been adopted by the Austin Group for inclusion
in the next version of POSIX.
