[sup-devel] [PATCH] don't leak fds for mbox sources

[Sascha Silbe <sascha-pgp@silbe.org>]

Only open the mbox when it's actually used and close it again once we're
finished iterating over it.

Adds a method go_idle to Source to inform the source we're unlikely to
use it in the near future so it can do internal clean-up as appropriate.

This patch allows configuring more than RLIMIT_NOFILE mbox sources. I have
been testing it for several days.

Please do point out even minor style mistakes.
