Prior to this change, a process after it has been constructed by
parse_execution, but before it is executed, was given a list of
io_data_t redirections. The problem is that redirections have a
sensitive ownership policy because they hold onto fds. This made it
rather hard to reason about fd lifetime.
Change these to redirection_spec_t. This is a textual description
of a redirection after expansion. It does not represent an open file and
so its lifetime is no longer important.
This enables files to be held only on the stack, and are no longer owned
by a process of indeterminate lifetime.
fish has to ensure that the pipes it creates do not conflict with any
explicit fds named in redirections. Switch this code to using
autoclose_fd_t to make the ownership logic more explicit, and also
introduce fd_set_t to reduce the dependence on io_chain_t.
This adds an "in-process" interpretation of dup2s, allowing for fish to
output directly to the correct file descriptor without having to perform
an in-kernel dup2 sequence.
This makes some significant architectual improvements to io_pipe_t and
io_buffer_t.
Prior to this fix, io_buffer_t subclassed io_pipe_t. io_buffer_t is now
replaced with a class io_bufferfill_t, which does not subclass pipe.
io_pipe_t no longer remembers both fds. Instead it has an autoclose_fd_t,
so that the file descriptor ownership is clear.
This represents a "resolved" io_chain_t, where all of the different io_data_t
types have been reduced to a sequence of dup2() and close(). This will
eliminate a lot of the logic duplication around posix_spawn vs fork, and pave
the way for in-process redirections.
