Subject: [PATCH] fapolicyd: Make write() nonblocking

- switch to read only and non blocking mode for pipe
- add 1 minute loop to wait for pipe to reappear

Sometimes during the system update/upgrade fapolicyd
get restarted e.g. when systemd gets updated.
That can lead to the situation where fapolicyd pipe
has been removed and created again.
In such cases rpm-plugin-fapolicyd gets stuck on
write() to the pipe which does not exist anymore.
After switching to non blocking file descriptor
we can try to reopen the pipe if there is an error
from write(). Assuming that a new pipe should appear
when fapolicyd daemon starts again.
If not then after 1 minute of waiting we expect
fapolicyd daemon to be not active and we let the
transaction continue.
