…xec in RunCommandJSON" faa1c3e Revert "Merge bitcoin#32343: common: Close non-std fds before exec in RunCommandJSON" (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely call only async-signal-safe functions (see [signal-safety(7)](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html)) until such time as it calls execv. The standard library (`std` namespace) is not async-signal-safe. Also, `throw`, isn't. There was an alternative implementation using `readdir` (bitcoin#32529), but that isn't async-signal-safe either, and that implementation was still using `throw`. So temporarily revert this feature. A follow-up in the future can add it back, using only async-signal-safe functions, or by using a different approach. Fixesbitcoin#32524Fixesbitcoin#33015Fixesbitcoin#32855 For reference, a failure can manifest in the GCC debug mode: * While `fork`ing, a debug mode mutex is held (by any other thread). * The `fork`ed child tries to use the stdard libary before `execv` and deadlocks. This may look like the following: ``` (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 1 (Thread 0xf58f4b40 (LWP 774911) "b-httpworker.2"): #0 0xf7f4f589 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xf79e467e in ??
