internal/mobileinit: preserve stdout and stderr file descriptors

To ensure correct command line behavior, the Go runtime crashes
when a SIGPIPE is received on either fd 1 or fd 2 (CL 18151).

At the same time, go mobile redirects stdout and stderr to the
Android logcat facility by replacing os.Stderr and os.Stdout with
the writer ends of two pipes.

This in turn allows the original os.Stderr and os.Stdout files to
be garbage finalized, closing fd 1 and 2.

If an Android app then happens to open a pipe or socket, fd 1 and 2
might be reused. If the pipe or socket ever receives a SIGPIPE, the
Go runtime will think the signal was for stdout or stderr and crash
the program.

This CL preserves fd 1 and fd 2 by using dup3 to redirect the file
descriptors.

Go support for Mobile devices

The Go mobile repository holds packages and build tools for using Go on mobile platforms.

Package documentation as a starting point:

Caution image

The Go Mobile project is experimental. Use this at your own risk. While we are working hard to improve it, neither Google nor the Go team can provide end-user support.

This is early work and installing the build system requires Go 1.5. Follow the instructions on golang.org/wiki/Mobile to install the gomobile command, build the basic and the bind example apps.
