ExecFork: Use /proc/self/fd to determine which files to close

This significantly reduces the number of files that have to be closed
and seems to be faster, despite the additional reads.

On systems where /proc/self/fd is not available, we fallback to the
old code that closes all file descriptors >= 3.

Closes: #764204
