Stefan Berger f04de501bc Introduce VIR_CLOSE to be used rather than close() 
Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.

There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
