[build] check for pipe2() at configure time
Lack of pipe2() on relic Unix as well as missing on Mac OSX is likely
one reason why threaded web servers such as nginx choose not to support
CGI except via an external service to the process. Without pipe2(),
race conditions exist and it is not safe for a threaded server to use
pipe() and fork() when the server also does not want to potentially leak
open file descriptors to various unrelated CGI scripts.
