qemu-char: Keep pty slave file descriptor open until the master is closed

If a process opens the slave pts device, writes data to it, then
immediately closes it, the data doesn't reliably get delivered to the
emulated serial port. This seems to be because a read of the master
pty device returns EIO on Linux if no process has the pts device open,
even when data is waiting "in the pipe".

A fix seems to be for QEMU to keep the pts file descriptor open until
the pty is closed, as per the below patch.
