    jail: avoid leaking jail config fds to exec.* hooks
    
    The jail(8) command must not leave parsed configuration files open
    since the file descriptors will be leaked to child processes
    including the untrusted exec.start or exec.stop hooks.
    
    While fopen() doesn't provide direct access to O_CLOEXEC, it does
    provide access to FD_CLOEXEC via "e" in the mode string which
    provides the desired defense in depth against leaking file descriptors
    into exec.* hooks since those always execve() into a shell.
    
    Jail configuration is potentially sensitive and some hooks execute from
    within the jail context, leaving some opening for the jail to exfiltrate
    information about the host environment.
