Here are some more thoughts on movefd().

I don't think it's safe to leave the unmoved fd open, after all, in too
many places that will leak.  In some places we need the original fd, but in
those places if the move fails the code will fail catastrophically---for
example in zle and completion we attempt to move fd 0 temporarily and then
move it back; if that failed we shouldn't attempt the operation.  I haven't
done that much surgery, so I've restored the original zclose() here for now.

I've found a few places that could handle a failed fd move better.  I've
tried to make the error handling match what's in the function already (if
any: load_dump_file() appears not to have any), but it's tricky to get
exactly right.
