Copy the bytes returned by fread instead of treating each input chunk as a NUL-terminated string. Preserve the public stream positions and report read and write failures rather than returning success after a partial copy. Add binary boundary, current-position, native pipe error and full-device regression coverage.
The runbg() function is a delayed execvp() that has double-forked to the
background (to not create zombies). It is useful for running commands
in the background for APIs that need to return a reply, e.g. a NETCONF
RPC to reboot the system.
Compared to the original in Infix, this version double forks to reparent
itself to PID 1 (init), closes all open files, including stdio.
