Tomasz Grabiec f2a63270d1 sstables: Fix double close on index and data files when writing fails
file output streams take the responsibility of closing the file, they
will close the file as part of closing the stream.

During sstable writing we create sstable object and keep file
references there as well. Sstable object also has responsibility for
closing the files, and does so from sstable::~sstable().

Double close was supposed to be avoided by a construct like this:

  writer.close().get();
  _file = {};

However if close() failed, which can happen when write-ahead failed,
_file would not be cleared, and both the writer and sstable would
close the file. This will result in a crash in
append_challenged_posix_file_impl::close(), which is not prepared to
be closed twice.

Another problem is that if exception happened before we reached that
construct, we still should close the writer. Currently we don't, so
there's no double close on the file, but that's a bug which needs to
be fixed and once that's fixed double close on _file will be even more
likely.

The fix employed here is to not keep files inside sstable object when
writing. As soon as the writer is constructed, it's the only owner of
the file.

Fixes #1764.
