Re: [Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH 4/8] Revert "RHEL 5: Define O_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC."

This reverts commit 25206df20275aeff346d9b86adf5e9be99cc9e43. An upcoming patch wants to ensure no leaked fds from the server to a child process. POSIX has required O_CLOEXEC since 2008, and although current POSIX doesn't yet specify full atomic interfaces everywhere such as SOCK_CLOEXEC, it does have an open bug since 2014 [1] recommending the full set of interfaces that will be mandatory in the next revision of POSIX. Most modern OS have caught up to that (RHEL 6 and FreeBSD 10 support SOCK_CLOEXEC, for example), and we're doing ourselves a disservice by using silent fallback instead of actively detecting with compile failure on systems that are still behind.
