commit 7dab1b39947d93233d147893c553968d3bc45327
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date: Sun Sep 28 10:56:13 2025 +0100
Use libc::dup2 and libc::read rather than nix versions
nix is doing io-safety which is an incompatible change. It's hard to
write code which works with both versions of nix because BorrowedFd is
in Rust 1.66 which is higher than our MSRV.
Partially based on code from Peter Green.

commit 2734ce1e27ca43dc5bdf88e264f162986797a998
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date: Sun Sep 28 11:01:49 2025 +0100
Use .into_raw_fd for null_fd for compatibility with nix 30
In nix <=29, open returns RawFd for which .into_raw_fd is a no-op.
