Uli Schlachter 25f9e7e45a xcb_send_fd(): Always close fds 
The API docs for xcb_send_fd() says "After this function returns, the file
descriptor given is owned by xcb and will be closed eventually".

Let the implementation live up to its documentation. We now also close fds if fd
passing is unavailable (!HAVE_SENDMSG) and when the connection is in an error
state.

(This also does sneak in some preparatory functions for follow-up commits and
thus does things in a more complicated way than really necessary.)

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
