nspawn: close extra fds before execing init

When systemd-nspawn gets exec*()ed, it inherits the followings file
descriptors:
- 0, 1, 2: stdin, stdout, stderr
- SD_LISTEN_FDS_START, ... SD_LISTEN_FDS_START+LISTEN_FDS: file
  descriptors passed by the system manager (useful for socket
  activation). They are passed to the child process (process leader).
- extra lock fd: rkt passes a locked directory as an extra fd, so the
  directory remains locked as long as the container is alive.

systemd-nspawn used to close all open fds except 0, 1, 2 and the
SD_LISTEN_FDS_START..SD_LISTEN_FDS_START+LISTEN_FDS. This patch delays
the close just before the exec so the nspawn process (parent) keeps the
extra fds open.

This patch supersedes the previous attempt ("cloexec extraneous fds"):
