[Libvir] [PATCH] (vshCloseLogFile): Diagnose close/write failure.

[Jim Meyering]

I noticed a minor problem in vshCloseLogFile.
Although callers do check for log-file write failure,
this function doesn't check for close failure (which
can happen, and indicates a write failure).

I considered changing the function to return an int
and propagating that success/failure "up" to callers,
but that change is more invasive, and I'm not sure it's
desirable.  If any of you prefer it, let me know and
I'll rewrite accordingly:

Also slightly ugly: ctl->logfile may be null, so if/when it is
(however unlikely), the diagnostic prints "?" as the file name
rather than trying to dereference a NULL pointer.
