Ran Benita 6954b3b0dc Assume os.dup is always available
The commit which added the checks for os.dup a15afb5e48
suggests it was done for Jython. But pytest doesn't support Jython
anymore (Jython is Python 2 only).

Furthermore, it looks like the faulthandler plugin (bundled in pytest
and enabled by default) uses os.dup() unprotected and there have not
been any complaints.

So seems better to just remove these checks, and only add if someone
with a legitimate use case complains.

The ``os.dup()`` function is now assumed to exist. We are not aware of any
supported Python 3 implementations which do not provide it.
