[PATCH 4/6] vsh: Close stderr among with stdin in cmdComplete
Our completer callbacks must refrain from printing anything onto
stderr, but unfortunately that's not how service code around
behaves. It may call vshError() and what not. Rather trying to
fix all possible paths (just consider opening a connection), just
close the stderr. We're already closing stdin.
