[glib/wip/steal-fd] Add g_steal_fd() to API

[Simon McVittie <smcv src gnome org>]

commit 31038ed7e41dceba8310842b1a7ac7867845b242
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv collabora com>
Date:   Thu Feb 25 10:33:09 2021 +0000

    Add g_steal_fd() to API
    
    This is basically glnx_steal_fd() from libglnx. We already had two
    private implementations of it in GLib.
