Support posix_spawn() for FreeBSD.

spawn() is expected to return an error if the specified file could not be
executed.  FreeBSD's posix_spawn() supports returning ENOENT/ENOEXEC if
the exec() fails, which not all platforms support.  This brings a very
significant performance improvement for FreeBSD, involving heavy use of
Command in threads, due to fork() invoking jemalloc fork handlers and
causing lock contention.  FreeBSD's posix_spawn() avoids this problem
due to using vfork() internally.
