hush: fix a bug in FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE=y config. Closes 9186

Run this in a "sh SCRIPT":

sha256sum /dev/null
echo END

sha256sum is a NOEXEC applet. It runs in a forked child. Then child exit()s.
By this time, entire script is read, and buffered in a FILE object
from fopen("SCRIPT"). But fgetc() did not consume entire input.
exit() lseeks back by -9 bytes, from <eof> to 'e' in 'echo'.
(this may be libc-specific).
This change of fd position *is shared with the parent*!

Now parent can read more, and it thinks there is another "echo END".
End result: two "echo END"s are run.

Fix this by _exit()ing instead.
