If called with close_fds=True the subprocess module will try to close every fd
from 3 to MAXFD before executing the specified command. This is done in Python
not even with a C-implementation which truly affecting performances.
This patch aims to better handle the file descriptor used by ifupdown2. Either
by closing them after use or by setting the close-on-exec flag for the file
descriptor, which causes the file descriptor to be automatically
(and atomically) closed when any of the exec-family functions succeed.
With the actual patch all tests are passing, I can't think of any future issue
but if any a possible future modification might be to use the parameter
'preexec_fn', which allows us to set function which will be executed in the
child process before executing the command line. We can always manually close
any remaining open file descriptors with something like:
>>> os.listdir('/proc/self/fd/')
['0', '1', '2', ‘3’, etc..]
>>> for fd in os.listdir('/proc/self/fd/')
>>> if int(fd) > 2:
>>> os.close(fd)
This patch is also totally re-organising the use of subprocesses. By removing
all subprocess code redundancy.

This gets rid of some ugly previous flag handling which was
passed through modules. This creates a global instance of
flags that all addon modules and helper modules can use.

1. Two new commands have been introduced in clagctl - setclagid and showclagid.
These commands will be used by ifupdown2 to set and read/check the clagid.
2. In addition a bit will be maintained per-bond in the bonding driver to
indicate if a bond is a CLAG bond.
