Other Linux syscalls with multiple versions for CLOEXEC support tend to
be wrapped in util/osdep.c.  When CLOEXEC isn't available they just skip
it rather than manually adding the flag using fcntl(2).

The following function is added:

  int qemu_epoll_create(void)
  {
  #if defined(CONFIG_EPOLL_CREATE1)
      return epoll_create1(EPOLL_CLOEXEC);
  #elif defined(CONFIG_EPOLL)
      return epoll_create(1);
  #else
      return -ENOSYS;
  #endif
  }

Now the rest of QEMU can rely on just CONFIG_EPOLL.

Even if you don't want to add qemu_epoll_create(), please keep things
simple by doing just s/CONFIG_EPOLL/CONFIG_EPOLL_CREATE1/ in
aio-posix.c.  That way USE_EPOLL isn't needed.  It's confusing to have
multiple preprocessor definitions related to epoll.
