fix(db-tool): prevent fd leak from logger to long-running daemons

The hectic logger opens fd 3 as a dup of stderr. Child processes inherit
this fd, and daemonized PostgreSQL/PostgREST keeping it open prevents the
terminal from returning to the prompt after the spawning script exits.

- Add with_closed_fds helper that runs commands in a subshell with fds
  3-9 redirected to /dev/null
- Inline the helper into both database and postgres-init builds
- Wrap pg_ctl start and postgrest with the helper

# with_closed_fds -- run command with leaked file descriptors closed
#
# Shell libraries (e.g. hectic logger) may open extra file descriptors
# (like fd 3 as a dup of stderr). Child processes inherit these fds.
# Long-running daemons (postgres, postgrest) that keep fd 3 open can
# prevent the terminal from returning to the prompt even after the
# spawning script exits.
#
# Usage:
# with_closed_fds pg_ctl -D "$data" -w start
# with_closed_fds postgrest "$config" > "$log" 2>&1 &
#
# Runs the command in a subshell where fds 3-9 are redirected to
# /dev/null. The parent shell's fd table is untouched.
