    Optimise closing file descriptors.
    
    Dnsmasq needs to close all the file descriptors it inherits, for security
    reasons. This is traditionally done by calling close() on every possible
    file descriptor (most of which won't be open.) On big servers where
    "every possible file descriptor" is a rather large set, this gets
    rather slow, so we use the /proc/<pid>/fd directory to get a list
    of the fds which are acually open.
    
    This only works on Linux. On other platforms, and on Linux systems
    without a /proc filesystem, we fall back to the old way.
