Avoid opendir()/readdir() in closefrom() implementation
These functions can call malloc(), which isn't safe to do between fork()
and exec() in a multi-threaded program, but after fork() is exactly
where you want to use closefrom().
Instead we now use getdirentries(), which isn't as portable, but is
available on both the platforms we need it on - Linux and OS X.
(cherry picked from commit 9ee6d2412eeca6c24cb4da33d80dbcf9986347dc)
