Only affects some tests and none seem likely to be problematic, but let's fix them.
Fixes#3971.

This currently fails on NetBSD due to the cloned file descriptors
that result from opening /dev/urandom. Disable the additional checking
until this is investigated and properly fixed.

Hold ForkLock during dup of fd + cloexec in the net pkg,
per the locking policy documented in syscall/exec_unix.go.

Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

Ran 'double.pl' on the pkg tree to identify doubled words.
One change to an error string return in x509; the rest are in comments.
Thanks to Matt Jibson for the idea.

Preserve old API by using correct struct in system call
and then copying the results, as we did for SetsockoptLinger.

Instead use a new type, "Note", whose underlying
type is just a string. This change allows us to
remove the exported os.Plan9Note type.

This closes any internal descriptors (pipes, etc) that Cmd.Start() had
opened before it failed.

Don't require the home directory to exist. Just check
that it returns something.

Also change Wait to say "exit" instead of "exit or stop".
I notice that Pid is not implemented on all systems.
Should we fix that?
Fixes#3138.

They are portability problems and the options are almost always zero in practice anyway.
