Fix running out of file descriptors for spill files.

Fix running out of file descriptors for spill files.

Currently while decoding changes, if the number of changes exceeds a
certain threshold, we spill those to disk. And this happens for each
(sub)transaction. Now, while reading all these files, we don't close them
until we read all the files. While reading these files, if the number of
such files exceeds the maximum number of file descriptors, the operation
errors out.

Use PathNameOpenFile interface to open these files as that internally has
the mechanism to release kernel FDs as needed to get us under the
max_safe_fds limit.
