qemu-ga: guest-shutdown: use only async-signal-safe functions
POSIX mandates[1] that a child process of a multi-thread program uses
only async-signal-safe functions before exec(). We consider qemu-ga
to be multi-thread, because it uses glib.

However, qmp_guest_shutdown() uses functions that are not
async-signal-safe. Fix it the following way:

- fclose() -> reopen_fd_to_null()
- execl() -> execle()
- exit() -> _exit()
- drop slog() usage (which is not safe)
