flag parameters: dup2

This patch adds the new dup3 syscall.  It extends the old dup2 syscall by one
parameter which is meant to hold a flag value.  Support for the O_CLOEXEC flag
is added in this patch.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

#include <fcntl.h>

# ifdef __x86_64__
#  define __NR_dup3 292
# elif defined __i386__
#  define __NR_dup3 330
# else
#  error "need __NR_dup3"
# endif
#endif

  int fd = syscall (__NR_dup3, 1, 4, 0);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("dup3(0) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC)
    {
      puts ("dup3(0) set close-on-exec flag");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  fd = syscall (__NR_dup3, 1, 4, O_CLOEXEC);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("dup3(O_CLOEXEC) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;

      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);
