Subject: insufficient checking in posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose

Similarly, POSIX [1] says:
"The posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose() function shall fail if:

[EBADF]
    The value specified by fildes is negative."

However, in musl libc 1.2.2, this test program exits with status 2:
========================================================================
#include <spawn.h>
int main ()
{
  posix_spawn_file_actions_t actions;
  if (posix_spawn_file_actions_init (&actions) != 0)
    return 1;
  if (posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose (&actions, -5) == 0)
    return 2;
  return 0;
}
========================================================================

Best regards,

          Bruno
