Removed code used when NXT_HAVE_POSIX_SPAWN is false.

posix_spawn(3POSIX) was introduced by POSIX.1d
(IEEE Std 1003.1d-1999), and was later consolidated in
POSIX.1-2001, requiring it in all POSIX-compliant systems.
It's safe to assume it's always available, more than 20 years
after its standardization.
