     [ssh.c]
     close any extra file descriptors inherited from parent at start and
     reopen stdin/stdout to /dev/null when forking for ControlPersist.

     prevents tools that fork and run a captive ssh for communication from
     failing to exit when the ssh completes while they wait for these fds to
     close. The inherited fds may persist arbitrarily long if a background
     mux master has been started by ControlPersist. cvs and scp were effected
     by this.
