Rollup merge of rust-lang#126827 - the8472:pidfd-spawn, r=workingjubilee

Use pidfd_spawn for faster process spawning when a PidFd is requested

glibc 2.39 added `pidfd_spawnp` and `pidfd_getpid` which makes it possible to get pidfds while staying on the CLONE_VFORK path.

verified that vfork gets used with strace:

```
$  strace -ff -e pidfd_open,clone3,openat,execve,waitid,close ./x test std --no-doc -- pidfd
