bobhan1 1f5d8bcb35 [fix](be) Fix file descriptor leak when resuming log files (#68926)
### What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: N/A

Related PR: #3649 (the existing-log resume path)

Problem Summary:

When a BE restarts with `log_split_method=size` and existing
INFO/WARNING logs, Doris's glog patch opens each resumed file with
`open()` and then opens it again with `fopen()`. The first descriptor
has no owner on the success path. Rotation and shutdown close only the
`FILE*`; once the file quota unlinks the old log, the leaked descriptor
keeps its disk blocks allocated until the BE exits.

Use `fdopen(fd, "a")` in both the glog 0.4.0 and 0.6.0 patches so the
stream owns the existing append-only, close-on-exec descriptor.
Initialize the saved file length only after `fdopen()` succeeds, and
close the descriptor on failure before using the existing new-file path.
Skip resume when the file list is empty, including when a quota of one
removes the last existing file.

Add a standalone regression test against the actual static glog library
and run it after the Linux third-party build. It covers INFO and WARNING
logs, append behavior, rotation using the saved file length, repeated
quota deletion, shutdown, empty directories, quota one, and injected
`fdopen()` failure.

### Release note

Fix leaked file descriptors that could retain disk space for deleted BE
logs after restarting with size-based log splitting.

### Check List (For Author)

- Test
    - [ ] Regression test
    - [ ] Unit Test
- [x] Manual test (standalone third-party library regression; details
below)
    - [ ] No need to test or manual test.
- Behavior changed:
    - [ ] No.
- [x] Yes. Resumed log descriptors are released during rotation and
shutdown; an empty resume list and failed `fdopen()` use the normal
new-file path.
- Does this need documentation?
    - [x] No.
    - [ ] Yes.

Validation:

- Applied both updated patches to clean upstream source archives with
`patch --dry-run --fuzz=0`, then rebuilt and installed the static
libraries in isolated directories (0.4.0 using autotools, 0.6.0 using
CMake; optional gflags and libunwind disabled).
- Ran `TP_INSTALL_DIR=<rebuilt-glog-install> CXX=/usr/bin/c++ bash
thirdparty/test/glog-logfile-resume-test.sh` for each version: all four
scenarios passed on each version. Two active log descriptors, zero
descriptors for deleted logs through quota rotations, and zero log
descriptors after shutdown.
- The same test against the existing unmodified Doris glog failed with
`initial write: held=4 expected=2`, confirming that it detects the
original leak.
- `git diff --check`, Bash syntax, ShellCheck 0.8.0, shfmt 3.5.1,
embedded C++ formatting with clang-format 16, and workflow YAML
validation passed.
- A full BE build, BE unit tests, and cluster regression were not run;
validation directly rebuilt and exercised the patched dependency.
