A Windows process started without a standard handle, such as a detached
process or a --windows-gui executable started from Explorer, has
descriptors 0 to 2 whose _get_osfhandle is -2. fcntl then threw on their
unknown file type, which stopped Halo: Combat Evolved (PPSA99500) at
start-up. Open NUL on each of them when libc loads, as Linux and macOS
already open /dev/null on a closed standard descriptor.
