fs: add autoClose option to fs.createWriteStream

Add support to fs.createWriteStream and fs.createWriteStream for an autoClose
option that behaves similarly to the autoClose option supported by
fs.createReadStream and fs.ReadStream.

When an instance of fs.createWriteStream created with autoClose === false finishes,
it is not destroyed. Its underlying fd is not closed and it is the
responsibility of the user to close it.

 `options` may also include a `start` option to allow writing data at
 some position past the beginning of the file.  Modifying a file rather
 than replacing it may require a `flags` mode of `r+` rather than the
 default mode `w`. The `defaultEncoding` can be any one of those accepted by [`Buffer`][].
 
+If `autoClose` is set to true (default behavior) on `error` or `end`
+the file descriptor will be closed automatically. If `autoClose` is false,
+then the file descriptor won't be closed, even if there's an error.
+It is your responsiblity to close it and make sure
+there's no file descriptor leak.
+
 Like [`ReadStream`][], if `fd` is specified, `WriteStream` will ignore the
 `path` argument and will use the specified file descriptor. This means that no
 `'open'` event will be emitted. Note that `fd` should be blocking; non-blocking
