File I/O file handles after target closes

A future patch will propose making the remote target's target_ops be
heap-allocated (to make it possible to have multiple instances of
remote targets, for multiple simultaneous connections), and will
delete/destroy the remote target at target_close time.

That change trips on a latent problem, though.  File I/O handles
remain open even after the target is gone, with a dangling pointer to
a target that no longer exists.  This results in GDB crashing when it
calls the target_ops backend associated with the file handle:

 (gdb) Disconnect
 Ending remote debugging.
 * GDB crashes deferencing a dangling pointer

This goes unnoticed in current master, because the current remote
target's target_ops is never destroyed nowadays, so we end up calling:

  remote_hostio_close -> remote_hostio_send_command

which gracefully fails with FILEIO_ENOSYS if remote_desc is NULL
(because the target is closed).

Fix this by invalidating a target's file I/O handles when the target
is closed.

With this change, remote_hostio_send_command no longer needs to handle the
case of being called with a closed remote target, originally added here:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-08/msg00359.html>.
