bsub should use pipes for standard file descriptors

Details are in the referenced PMR, but the summary is that since bsub uses sockets instead of files for STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR certain types of submissions that access /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr will fail to execute properly when the should not. SSH had a similar behavior back in 2003, but it was patched to remote the reliance on sockets which was considered buggy.

    This RFE have been open for a long time and has not made the cut for several releases. We have no plans to change this behavior.
