connection: Leave fd open in wl_connection_destroy

Calling close() on the same file descriptor that a previous call to
close() already closed is wrong, and racy if another thread received
that same file descriptor as a eg. new socket or actual file.

There are two situations where wl_connection_destroy() would close its
file descriptor and then another function up in the call chain would
close the same file descriptor:

  * When wl_client_create() fails after calling wl_connection_create(),
    it will call wl_connection_destroy() before returning. However, its
    caller will always close the file descriptor if wl_client_create()
    fails.

  * wl_display_disconnect() unconditionally closes the display file
    descriptor and also calls wl_connection_destroy().

So these two seem to expect wl_connection_destroy() to leave the file
descriptor open. The other caller of wl_connection_destroy(),
wl_client_destroy(), does however expect wl_connection_destroy() to
close its file descriptor, alas.

This patch changes wl_connection_destroy() to indulge this majority of
two callers by simply not closing the file descriptor. For the benefit
of wl_client_destroy(), wl_connection_destroy() then returns the
unclosed file descriptor so that wl_client_destroy() can close it
itself.

Since wl_connection_destroy() is a private function called from few
places, changing its semantics seemed like the more expedient way to
address the double-close() problem than shuffling around the logic in
wl_client_create() to somehow enable it to always avoid calling
wl_connection_destroy().
