Optimize the :mod:`subprocess` module on FreeBSD using ``closefrom()``. A
single ``close(fd)`` syscall is cheap, but when ``sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)`` is
high, the loop calling ``close(fd)`` on each file descriptor can take
several milliseconds.

The workaround on FreeBSD to improve performance was to load and mount the
fdescfs kernel module, but this is not enabled by default.
