Mark Mentovai 110eafe9a1 CloseMultipleNowOrOnExec(): promote out of test.
This function will be useful in upcoming non-test code. Because the
first Crashpad client that wants a Crashpad handler will now be
responsible for starting the handler process, this will prevent file
descriptors from leaking to the handler process.

//! \brief Close multiple file descriptors or mark them close-on-exec.
//!
//! This is similar to the BSD/Solaris-style `closefrom()` routine, which closes
//! all open file descriptors equal to or higher than its \a fd argument. This
//! function must not be called while other threads are active. It is intended
//! to be used in a child process created by `fork()`, prior to calling an
//! `exec()`-family function. This guarantees that a (possibly untrustworthy)
//! child process does not inherit file descriptors that it has no need for.
//!
//! Unlike the BSD function, this function may not close file descriptors
//! immediately, but may instead mark them as close-on-exec. The actual behavior
//! chosen is specific to the operating system. On Mac OS X, file descriptors
//! are marked close-on-exec instead of being closed outright in order to avoid
//! raising `EXC_GUARD` exceptions for guarded file descriptors that are
//! protected against `close()`.
//!
//! \param[in] fd The lowest file descriptor to close or set as close-on-exec.
//! \param[in] preserve_fd A file descriptor to preserve and not close (or set
//! as close-on-exec), even if it is open and its value is greater than \a
//! fd. To not preserve any file descriptor, pass `-1` for this parameter.
