    gspawn: document FD_CLOEXEC behaviour
    
    G_SPAWN_LEAVE_DESCRIPTORS_OPEN must be set to enable the optimized
    posix_spawn codepath, so this flag is likely to see more usage now.
    
    Document that FD_CLOEXEC can be used to cause file descriptors to be
    automatically closed while this flag is used.
