fix: use correct stdio index for Blob redirect targets in shell

Fix copy-paste bug where stdout and stderr Blob redirects were
incorrectly indexing spawn_args.stdio[stdin_no] instead of the
correct stdout_no/stderr_no index, causing the redirect to modify
the stdin slot instead of the intended one.
