On thinking about this more, I'm thinking that the user should be able
to request whether the fd remains open after the command has been
executed (for example, the client may want to share an fd among multiple
child processes, in which case each virCommandRun must not close the
fd); doable by adding another argument to virCommandPreserveFD.

Okay, I see how you added that in your variant in today's locking
series, along with virCommandToString; now folded into my v2.

Here's the interdiff of what will be in my v2:
