RFR 9: 8074818: Resolve disabled warnings for libjava

[Martin Buchholz]

Evil header file io_util.h effectively requires its callers to include
fcntl.h first (on platforms where fcntl.h defines O_SYNC and D_SYNC) and
that is a BIG NONO.  I would try hard to fix io_util.h now (instead of
adding workarounds to callers) and further, if any of its callers were
including fcntl.h merely for io_util.h's benefit, remove those include
statements.  IWYU!

Admittedly, google has far more IWYU religion than most.
