[BZ #6544]

	byte gets added to writes and seeks from the end use the length of
	the buffer and not the currently terminating NUL byte.

 * Implement "e" option for popen to open file descriptor with the
   close-on-exec flag set.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * Many functions, exported and internal, now atomically set the close-on-exec
   flag when run on a sufficiently new kernel.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
