simplify cgi function 

Don't fork+execlp the script.  There's no need to do so since on exec
the new process will inherit our file descriptor table (and hence our
stdout), so copying from its stdout to ours is just a waste of time.
This allows to drop the ``proc'' pledge(2) promise and to (slightly)
improve performance.
