Subject: [PATCH] dup2 w/flags

This patch adds dup3 which is dup2 with an additional parameter.  The
parameter takes the usual O_* flags, with only O_CLOEXEC handled so far
(it's possible to handle O_NONBLOCK in future, if this is wanted).

I've read some people mentioning that we simply should use a new fcntl()
extension similar to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.  I think that's a terrible idea
and in any case not better than sys_indirect.  A new syscall is the
cleanest solution and it's really only a little bit of effort.
