Don't close stderr when opening a tunnel. (closes #3726)
Instead of closing stderr, redirect it to /dev/null in
tunnel_socket_open(). Otherwise a program can accidentally open a
file into handle 2 and then unknowingly use that when trying to print
to stderr.
Thanks to lotheac for the original patch, which I just modified
slightly.
