Cleanup the handling of close(). First of all, closing an invalid (non-negative) file descriptor (EBADF) is always a serious bug. We want to catch that. Hence, we should use nm_close() (or nm_close_with_error()) which asserts against such bugs. Don't ever use close() directly, to get that additional assertion. Also, our nm_close() handles EINTR internally and correctly. Recent POSIX defines that on EINTR the close should be retried. On Linux, that is never correct. After close() returns, the file descriptor is always closed (or invalid). nm_close() gets this right, and pretends that EINTR is a success (without retrying). The majority of our file descriptors are sockets, etc. That means, often an error from close isn't something that we want to handle. Adjust nm_close() to return no error and preserve the caller's errno. That is the appropriate reaction to error (ignoring it) in most of our cases. And error from close may mean that there was an IO error (except EINTR and EBADF). In a few cases, we may want to handle that. For those cases we have nm_close_with_error(). TL;DR: use almost always nm_close(). Unless you want to handle the error code, then use nm_close_with_error(). Never use close() directly. There is much reading on the internet about handling errors of close and in particular EINTR.
