Open files with "close on exec" flag
File opened by libibverbs are not supposed to be inherited across
exec*(), most of the files are of no use for another program, and
others cannot be used without the associated memory mapping.
This patch changes open() and fopen() to always set close on exec flag.
This patch also add checks to configure to guess if fopen() supports
"e" flag. If O_CLOEXEC and SOCK_CLOEXEC are supported, fopen() should
support "e". If not supported, its discarded according to POSIX. Many
operating systems have support for fopen("e").
You might find more information about close on exec in the following articles:

Note: this patch won't set close on exec flag on file descriptors
created by the kernel for completion channel and such. This should be
addressed by a kernel patch.
