[New-bugs-announce] [issue10253] Fix fd leak in fileio.c and test resource warnings

New submission from Brian Brazil <brian.brazil at gmail.com>:

fileio_init will leak a fd if you open a file for append that isn't seekable. We should close this fd before returning the failure.

The attached patch fixes this and a resource warning in the tests, but I'm unsure if it'd be better to use internal_close. I'd want the error from the seek rather than any potential error from the close, so I think this is okay.

Regrtest is happy.
