gstdio: Document async-signal-safety of g_clear_fd and g_autofd

Browse Source 
g_clear_fd wraps g_close and is async-signal-safe under essentially the
same circumstances. If fd_ptr already pointed to a negative number, then
g_clear_fd doesn't call g_close, and is still async-signal-safe.

g_autofd passes a NULL error pointer to g_clear_fd, so it is
async-signal-safe, as long as no programming error occurs.
