Since commit 03e471c41d8b ("qemu_init: increase NOFILE soft limit on
POSIX"), the maximum number of file descriptors that can be opened are
raised to nofile.rlim_max. On recent debian distro, this yield a maximum
of 1073741816 file descriptors. Now, when forking to start
qemu-bridge-helper, this actually calls close() on the full possible file
descriptor range (more precisely [3 - sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)]) which
takes a considerable amount of time. In order to reduce that time,
factorize existing code to close all open files descriptors in a new
qemu_close_all_open_fd() function. This function uses various methods
to close all the open file descriptors ranging from the most efficient
one to the least one. It also accepts an ordered array of file
descriptors that should not be closed since this is required by the
callers that calls it after forking. Since this function is not used
for Win32, do not implement it to force an error at link time if used.

v8:
 - Fix erroneous -1 added to open_max
 - Remove useless close_fd assignation
 - v7: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240731084832.1829291-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v7:
 - Passed open_max to qemu_close_all_open_fd() subfunctions
 - Remove extra whitespace
 - Reduce some variable scopes
 - v7: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240730122437.1749603-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v6:
 - Split patch in multiple commits
 - Drop Richard Henderson Reviewed-by since there was a lot of
   modifications
 - Remove useless #ifdef LINUX in qemu_close_all_open_fd_proc()
 - v5: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240726075502.4054284-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v5:
 - Move qemu_close_all_open_fd() to oslib-posix.c since it does not
   compile on windows and is not even used on it.
 - v4: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240717124534.1200735-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v4:
 - Add a comment saying that qemu_close_all_open_fd() can take a NULL skip
   array and nskip == 0
 - Added an assert in qemu_close_all_open_fd() to check for skip/nskip
   parameters
 - Fix spurious tabs instead of spaces
 - Applied checkpatch
 - v3: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240716144006.6571-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v3:
 - Use STD*_FILENO defines instead of raw values
 - Fix indentation of close_all_fds_after_fork()
 - Check for nksip in fallback code
 - Check for path starting with a '.' in qemu_close_all_open_fd_proc()
 - Use unsigned for cur_skip
 - Move ifdefs inside close_fds functions rather than redefining them
 - Remove uneeded 'if(nskip)' test
 - Add comments to close_range version
 - Reduce range of skip fd as we find them in
 - v2: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240618111704.63092-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v2:
 - Factorize async_teardown.c close_fds implementation as well as tap.c ones
 - Apply checkpatch
 - v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20240617162520.4045016-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/
