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. Change-Id: Ib24ac8a083db32e55402ce496a5eabd8749cc888 Related: OS#4332
