bb_daemonize_or_rexec(DAEMON_CLOSE_EXTRA_FDS) does not close extra fds

This particular issue could be fixed by rewriting the logic to something like:

int keep = 2;

if (flags & DAEMON_DEVNULL_STDIO)
   keep = -1;

fd = open(bb_dev_null, O_RDWR);
..
while (fd > keep) {
  close(fd--);
}

But yeah, the other problem persists. I don't know of any other
solutions besides using a hardcoded max-fd. I believe the classic
limit used by select is 1024.
