Fix critical bugs in close_all_non_term_fd() for fork/exec safety

This commit fixes two critical bugs in close_all_non_term_fd() that caused
undefined behavior and potential deadlocks when called after fork() before
execve() in multi-threaded programs.

Bug 1: Self-Referential Directory FD Closure
----------------------------------------------
When iterating through /proc/self/fd, opendir() creates a file descriptor
for the directory stream. This fd appears in the enumeration while we're
iterating, and if we close it, readdir() operates on a corrupted DIR*
stream, causing undefined behavior, crashes, or missed file descriptors.

Fix: Use dirfd() to obtain the directory's fd and explicitly skip closing it.

Bug 2: Heap Allocation After fork() in Multi-Threaded Programs
----------------------------------------------------------------
In multi-threaded programs, when fork() is called while other threads hold
malloc locks, the child process inherits a "frozen" state where those locks
remain locked (the owning threads don't exist in the child). Any heap
allocation (malloc/free/new/delete) in the child before execve() can deadlock.

The original code used:
- std::stol(std::string(dir->d_name)) - creates a temporary std::string
- std::find() - may allocate internally

Fix: Replace with heap-allocation-free alternatives:
- atoi(dir->d_name) instead of std::stol(std::string(...))
- Simple C loops instead of std::find()

Additional Improvements
-----------------------
1. Added close_range() syscall support (Linux 5.9+) with runtime detection
   - O(1) atomic operation, most efficient method
   - Only used when excludeFDs is empty (closes all fds >= 3)
   - Falls back to /proc/self/fd iteration when excludeFDs is non-empty

2. Added extensive doxygen documentation covering:
   - Security implications (preventing fd leaks to child processes)
   - Resource management (preventing fd exhaustion)
   - Deadlock prevention in multi-threaded fork() contexts
   - Implementation details (three strategies: close_range, /proc/self/fd, rlimit)
   - fork() safety design considerations
   - Example usage and portability notes

3. Added required includes: dirent.h, sys/syscall.h, linux/close_range.h

Workflow Safety
---------------
The function is now safe to use in the common fork() -> close_all_non_term_fd()
-> execve() workflow, even in multi-threaded programs.

+/**
+ * @brief Closes all open file descriptors except stdin (0), stdout (1), stderr (2), and a specified exclusion list
+ *
+ * This function is typically called after fork() in the child process before exec() to ensure that
+ * the child process does not inherit unintended file descriptors from the parent. This is crucial
+ * for security, resource management, and preventing deadlocks in daemonized processes.
+ *
+ * **Security Implications:**
+ * - Prevents child processes from accessing sensitive file descriptors (database connections, sockets, log files)
+ * - Prevents information leaks through unintended descriptor inheritance
+ * - Required for secure privilege separation and sandboxing
+ *
+ * **Resource Management:**
+ * - Prevents resource exhaustion by closing descriptors not needed by the child
+ * - Allows the parent to close descriptors without affecting the child
+ * - Ensures proper cleanup in daemon/service contexts
+ *
+ * **Deadlock Prevention:**
+ * - In multi-threaded programs, if fork() is called while other threads hold locks or resources,
+ *   the child process inherits a "frozen" state where only the forking thread exists but the
+ *   locked resources remain held. Closing file descriptors prevents potential deadlocks
+ *   when those descriptors are associated with pipes or sockets that may block on I/O.
+ *
+ * **Implementation Details:**
+ *
+ * The function uses three strategies, tried in order:
+ *
+ * 1. **Primary Method (Linux 5.9+, empty excludeFDs only):** close_range() syscall
+ *    - Uses syscall(__NR_close_range, 3, ~0U, 0) to atomically close all fds >= 3
+ *    - Runtime detection: first call checks if syscall is available
+ *    - This method is O(1) and the most efficient
+ *    - ONLY used when excludeFDs is empty (otherwise would close excluded fds)
+ *
+ * 2. **Secondary Method:** Iterate through /proc/self/fd
+ *    - Uses opendir("/proc/self/fd") to get a directory stream of open file descriptors
+ *    - Uses dirfd() to get the directory's own fd and skips closing it (prevents self-referential closure bug)
+ *    - Reads each entry and uses atoi() to convert to fd (no heap allocation)
+ *    - Closes all descriptors > 2 (stdin/stdout/stderr) that are not in the exclusion list
+ *    - This method is O(n) where n is the number of open file descriptors
+ *
+ * 3. **Fallback Method:** Iterate through rlimit
+ *    - If /proc/self/fd is not available (e.g., on non-Linux systems or chroot environments),
+ *      falls back to getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE)
+ *    - Iterates from 3 to rlim_cur-1, attempting to close each descriptor
+ *    - Ignores EBADF errors for descriptors that aren't actually open
+ *    - This method is O(rlim_cur) which can be much slower if rlim_max is large (e.g., 1048576)
+ *
+ * **Important Design Considerations for fork() Safety:**
+ *
+ * 1. **Heap Allocation Avoidance:** This function avoids heap allocations in the /proc/self/fd path:
+ *    - Uses atoi() instead of std::stol(std::string(...))
+ *    - Uses simple loops instead of std::find() which may allocate
+ *    - This is critical in multi-threaded programs after fork() where malloc locks may be held
+ *
+ * 2. **Self-Referential Directory FD Closure Prevention:**
+ *    - The opendir() call creates a fd for the directory stream
+ *    - We use dirfd() to get this fd and explicitly skip closing it
+ *    - This prevents undefined behavior from closing the fd while iterating
+ *
+ * **Thread Safety Considerations:**
+ * - This function IS safe to call in the child process between fork() and execve()
+ * - By avoiding heap allocations (using atoi() and simple loops), it prevents deadlocks
+ *   on malloc locks that may be held by other threads in the parent at fork time
+ * - For optimal safety, call with an empty excludeFDs initializer list: close_all_non_term_fd({})
+ *
+ * **Parameters:**
+ * @param excludeFDs A vector of file descriptor numbers to keep open (in addition to 0, 1, 2)
+ *                   For example, if you have pipes for communication with the parent process,
+ *                   pass those pipe fds in this vector to preserve them.
+ *                   When non-empty, close_range() optimization cannot be used.
+ *
+ * **Example Usage:**
+ * @code
+ * // In forked child before exec - close everything except stdin/stdout/stderr
+ * close_all_non_term_fd({});
+ *
+ * // Keep specific communication pipes open (works with /proc and rlimit methods)
+ * close_all_non_term_fd({read_pipe, write_pipe});
+ *
+ * // After fork() in a daemon that keeps log files open
+ * close_all_non_term_fd({log_fd, status_pipe_fd});
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * **Portability:**
+ * - /proc/self/fd is Linux-specific. FreeBSD has /dev/fd, macOS has /dev/fd as well
+ * - The fallback method using getrlimit() is more portable but less efficient
+ * - close_range() is Linux 5.9+, with runtime detection for backward compatibility
+ *
+ * **See Also:**
+ * - close_range(2) - Linux 5.9+ syscall for efficient bulk closing
+ * - posix_spawn(3) - Alternative to fork+exec that handles fd closing atomically
+ * - fdwalk() - Solaris/IllumOS function for similar purposes
+ *
+ * @param excludeFDs Vector of file descriptors to preserve (in addition to 0, 1, 2)
+ * @return void
