Comment (by danieljames):

 (In [63430]) Try to improve file_descriptor's ownership policies. Refs
 #3517

 * Deprecate the old 'close_on_exit' constructors.
 * Introduce new constructors from file handle, taking either
   `never_close_handle` or `close_handle`.
 * Close current file handle when opening a new file handle,
   if it would have been closed in the destructor.
