Fix corner-case >&- redirection leak out of subshell

Reproducer:

    exec 9>&1
    ( { exec 9>&1; } 9>&- )
    echo "test" >&9 # => 9: cannot open [Bad file descriptor]

The 9>&- incorrectly persists beyond the { } block that it
was attached to *and* beyond the ( ) subshell. This is yet another
bug with non-forking subshells; forking it with something like
'ulimit -t unlimited' works around the bug.

In over a year we have not been able to find a real fix, but I came
up with a workaround that forks a virtual subshell whenever it
executes a code block with a >&- or <&- redirection attached. That
use case is obscure enough that it should not cause any performance
regression except in very rare corner cases.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c: sh_exec(): TSETIO:
- This is where redirections attached to code blocks are handled.
  Check for a >&- or <&- redirection using bit flaggery from
  shnodes.h and fork if we're executing such in a virtual subshell.
