lib9p: get rid of Srv.nopipe and Srv.leavefdsopen hacks

it is unclear how Srv.nopipe flag should work inside
postmountserv(). if a server wants to serve on stdio
descriptors, he can just call srv() after initializing
Srv.infd and Srv.outfd.

The Srv.leavefdsopen hack can be removed now that acme
win has been fixed.
