utils: 'filtered-port' doesn't leave dangling processes behind.

* guix/utils.scm (filtered-port): Make sure the 'execl' child process
  always exits, and does (primitive-_exit 1) upon execution failure.
  Use 'primitive-_exit' in the 'dump-port' child process.
* tests/utils.scm ("filtered-port, does not exist"): New test.
