Fix a race between process death and stdio read

Previously we used to close the fd immediately after the process was
terminated. That made lifetimes simple to reason about, but we
accidentally introduced a very subtle bug: If bun hadn't read the
entirety of the stdout/stderr of the child process, since Rust would
close the file from under it, Bun would not be able to read the rest of
the output, truncating it!

This change now adds an explicit `close()` and `fd()` functions so that
the fd management becomes way more explicit than before. Tests were also
updated to ensure that there are no leaked FDs, since now we lost the
guarantee that everything was going to be cleaned up properly.
