    flag parameters: pipe

    This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
    takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
    the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
    syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
    think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
    implementation but that's up to them.

    The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
    all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
    I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
    do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
    changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
