run-command: avoid close(-1) in start_command() error paths

Browse Source 
When `start_command()` fails to set up a pipe partway through, it rolls
back by closing the pipe ends it has already opened. For descriptors
supplied by the caller rather than allocated locally, that rollback
tested `if (cmd->in)` / `if (cmd->out)` before calling close(). The
CHILD_PROCESS_INIT default of -1 ("no descriptor") is non-zero and so
passes the test, meaning a caller that sets cmd->no_stdin or
cmd->no_stdout without supplying a real fd ends up triggering close(-1)
on the error path.

The stdin-pipe failure branch a few lines above already uses the right
idiom, `if (cmd->out > 0)`, which rejects both the -1 sentinel and 0
(the parent's own standard streams). Apply it to the three remaining
rollback sites.

Reported by Coverity as CID 1049722 ("Argument cannot be negative").
