libfontd.a clobbered errno in two cases, and xdvi relies on
errno==EMFILE to close a file and try again - this kept xdvi from
working on machines with a low number of openable files and
a large number of files in the dvi file.  openfont() also changed
to give up if the original open() fails for any reason other than
ENOENT - we can't fix anything but a missing file.
