Fix races with threads and file descriptors.

* src/callproc.c (Fcall_process_region):
Use emacs_close, not close.
* src/sysdep.c (POSIX_CLOSE_RESTART, posix_close) [!POSIX_CLOSE_RESTART]:
New macro and function, which emulates the POSIX_CLOSE_RESTART macro
and posix_close function on current platforms (which all lack them).
(emacs_close): Use it.  This should fix the races on GNU/Linux and
on AIX and on future platforms that support POSIX_CLOSE_RESTART,
and it should avoid closing random victim file descriptors on
other platforms.
