In qio_channel_command_new_spawn() the 'flags' variable is checked
to see if /dev/null should be used for stdin or stdout; first with
O_RDONLY and then O_WRONLY.  However the second check for O_WRONLY
is only needed if flags != O_RDONLY and therefore should be an
else if statement.

This minor optimization has the added benefit of suppressing a warning
from a static analysis tool (Parfait) which incorrectly reported an
incorrect checking of flags in qio_channel_command_new_spawn() could
result in an uninitialized file descriptor being used. Removing this
noise will help us better find real issues.
