Hi,
This patch implements pex_unix_exec_child using posix_spawn when
available.
This should especially benefit recent macOS (where vfork just calls
fork), but should have equivalent or faster performance on all
platforms.
In addition, the implementation is substantially simpler than the
vfork+exec code path.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
v2: Fix error handling (previously the function would be run twice in
case of error), and don't use a macro that changes control flow.
v3: Match file style for error-handling blocks, don't close
in/out/errdes on error, and check close() for errors.

Thanks. I pushed this based on Richi's ACK after fixing some minor
whitespace problems and rebuilding the generated files.
Sorry about the long delay.
