Fixes an issue where malformed or unexpected stdio configurations could cause crashes or undefined behavior during child process spawning. This patch ensures robust validation of stdio entries:

Fixes: #55932


I don't think we should patch user-space misconfiguration. This is a rare case and, could be extrapolated to different issues. I never faced an issue due to proto mutation. But I personally don't think we should patch that (except for the native layer.)

I'm fine with improving robustness wrt userland prototype changes, but I don't think we should add tests for that.
