[PATCH] avoid closed stdin() in zle widgets



Hello,

in zle widgets, stdin currently appears to be closed. That's
generally not a good idea to close fds 0, 1, 2 as many commands
are confused when the files they open suddenly become their
stdin/stdout/stderr because the first free fd is 0/1/2.

See

https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/370475

for instance.
