bpo-47260: Fix os.closerange() potentially being a no-op in a seccomp sandbox (GH-32418)

_Py_closerange() currently assumes that close_range() closes
all file descriptors even if it returns an error (other than ENOSYS).
This assumption can be wrong on Linux if a seccomp sandbox denies
the underlying syscall, pretending that it returns EPERM or EACCES.
In this case _Py_closerange() won't close any descriptors at all,
which in the worst case can be a security issue.

Fix this by falling back to other methods in case of any close_range()
error. Note that fallbacks will not be triggered on any problems with
closing individual file descriptors because close_range() is documented
to ignore such errors on both Linux[1] and FreeBSD[2].
