    Move the startup directory checking to the "native" block of *nix build

    of sbbs_t::external()

    The startup directory for DOS doors might not be a valid Unix (case-sensitive) path, so let's just do that check in the native block here.

    Also, removed a bunch of redundant startup_dir ==/!= NULL checks. It can't be NULL here.

    Since on at least Debian 12.4, the ttydefaults array is completely

    supporting.

    Convert CP437 to UTF-8 (when necessary) for *nix stdio doors (e.g. DOSEMU)

    ... as requested by "ben" in #synchronet at irc.synchro.net

    Currently, this assumes all stdio doors aren't "UTF-8 native", which might be an incorrect assumption.

    Remove lprintf() call from child process of fork() call on *nix

    the info-level debug message "Detaching external process"... as this appears
    to be the cause of background events hanging sometimes, on Linux (at least).

    Log Message:
    Disable pause when running an external program.

    Not sure if this is from the terminal overhaul or from the unicode
    support, but passthru_thread calls rputs() which calls cp437_out()
    which calls outchar() which calls check_pause().

    Also, put an EINTR wrapper around waidpid()... that wasn't the
    problem I was seeing, but it's a theoretically possible one.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Fix error in 35d530c3a4e

    Instead of looping while waitpid() returned an error due to a signal,
    it was looping *until* waitpid() returned an error due to a signal.

    This could cause an infinite loop on *nix systems after an external
    exited if waitpid() was returning an error for some other reason.
