    dup2, dup3: work around another cygwin crasher

Cygwin 1.7.25 can crash due to an off-by-one bug on an attempt to
duplicate a file into the current RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit, when
that limit is smaller than the hard limit.  The intent in the
cygwin code was to allow the dup and auto-increase the soft limit,
which is itself questionable (and which we work around in the
gnulib getdtablesize module); but avoiding the crash is worth
doing even if the soft limit semantics are wrong.
