On OpenBSD, use pledge(2) to drop unneeded privileges after initialization.

Only allow stdio access while handling data from the network. AFAIK, with this
change the program will only compile on OpenBSD; further work would be needed
to make this cross-platform.
This changes how we invoke OpenBSD's pledge(2) to drop privileges after
initialization, using conditional compilation so we can still build on
platforms where pledge is not available.
