No functional change expected :)

safe_close_pair() is more like safe_close(), except that it handles
pairs of fds, and doesn't make and misleading allusion, as it works
similarly well for socketpairs() as for pipe()s...

safe_close() automatically becomes a NOP when a negative fd is passed,
and returns -1 unconditionally. This makes it easy to write lines like
this:
fd = safe_close(fd);
Which will close an fd if it is open, and reset the fd variable
correctly.
By making use of this new scheme we can drop a > 200 lines of code that
was required to test for non-negative fds or to reset the closed fd
variable afterwards.

GCC optimizes strlen("string constant") to a constant, even with -O0.
Thus, replace patterns like sizeof("string constant")-1 with
strlen("string constant") where possible, for clarity. In particular,
for expressions intended to add up the lengths of components going into
a string, this often makes it clearer that the expression counts the
trailing '\0' exactly once, by putting the +1 for the '\0' at the end of
the expression, rather than hidden in a sizeof in the middle of the
expression.

We still only produce on .so, but let's keep the sources separate to make things a bit
less messy.
