Sami Kerola f416563b28 include: add close_fd() for noticing write errors before close()
Essentially this helper function is similar to close_stream(), but for
file descriptors.

When a file descriptors are close()'d status of write is often
overlooked.  The close_fd() will try to determine what happen to writes
with fsync() before closing the file descriptor.

Sami Kerola 302e423dc1 include: add stream error checking facility
The close_stream() is copied from GNU lib.  Inspiration to do this is
talk by Jim Meyering - Goodbye World! The perils of relying on output
streams in C.
