This commit adds to #840 7bd8d52 to apply the same fix to another place that does the same operation on all fds.
When _SC_OPEN_MAX (max nr of open files limit per process) is a very big number, then closing all possible file handles can take a while. This change first tries to use the syscall close_range() if available, falling back to use /proc/self/fd to close only open file handles, and lastly falling back to the old way of closing all possible handles one after another.
In general, the first or second approach should be available which speeds up the pty spawning.
