dispatch: do not close stdout and stderr, just flush() instead

Since 3a4c0905f357 "util: always force line buffered stdout when stdout is
a tty", we have two file objects attached to the same STDOUT_FILENO. If one
is closed, the underlying file descriptor is also closed, and writing to
the other file object would crash the Python interpreter in a hard way, at
least on Windows.

So, it seems safer to not close the standard streams. This also matches
the behavior of the default sys.stdout/stderr.close(), which never close
the FILE* streams in C layer.
