On linux /dev/stdin is defined as a symlink to /proc/self/fd/0
This in turn is defined as a "magic" symlink which is allowed to point
to internal kernel objects which really does not have a file
name. As a glaring inconsistency, fopen("/proc/self/fd/0", "r")
works if fd was originally opened using pipe() but not using
socketpair(). As it happens UV_CREATE_PIPE does not create pipes
but creates socket pairs. These two unfortunate conditions
means that using /dev/stdin and similar does not work in
shell commands in nvim on linux. as a work around, override
libuv's descicion and create an actual pipe pair.
This change is not needed on BSD:s but done unconditionally for simplicity,
except for on windows where it is not done for stdout because of windows
