Create an fd.c entry point that is just like plain open(2) except that
it will close VFDs if necessary to surmount ENFILE or EMFILE failures. Make use of this in md.c, xlog.c, and user.c routines that were formerly vulnerable to these failures. In particular, this should handle failures of mdblindwrt() that have been observed under heavy load conditions. (By golly, every other process on the system may crash after Postgres eats up all the kernel FDs, but Postgres will keep going!)
