CLOEXEC does not work on Alpine #872
Description
In the VS Code repo, when I bump node-pty, the Alpine build reports the following error
2026-01-13T21:31:14.7685867Z npm error ../src/unix/pty.cc: In function 'void pty_close_inherited_fds()':
2026-01-13T21:31:14.7686207Z npm error ../src/unix/pty.cc:135:40: error: 'CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC' was not declared in this scope

Look in pty.cc and see whether we have to use a different constant or implementation for Alpine.

Verified by the fact that the VS Code build is green.
