* On POSIX, make sure we don't leak FDs when launching child Processes.

* Add a facility to LaunchProcess() to remap a given FD into a child process.

This change is needed for 2 reasons:
1)We want to use a socketpair() for IPC, the child process needs a known FD # for it's side of the socket.
2)The OS X Sandbox doesn't close FDs.
