When the new flag is used, close_range will set the close-on-exec bit
for the file descriptors instead of close()-ing them.

It is useful for e.g. container runtimes that want to minimize the
number of syscalls used after a seccomp profile is installed but want
to keep some fds open until the container process is executed.
