This is a second stab at cleaning up the close() and finalize() methods 
for  FileInputStream / FileOutputStream / RandomAccessFile classes so 
that all parents/referents sharing the same native FileDescriptor are 
closed out correctly.

With Alan's assistance, we have a better implementation in place where 
we avoid the use of counters and instead cycle through a list of shared 
closeables when a FileDescriptor is being shared.
