maint: avoid a couple of gnulib regressions

Double-close regression in upstream gnulib fclose was introduced
to libvirt in commit 9d8e01a1d.

Meanwhile, adding rpcgen as a bootstrap prerequisite in commit
fb1e8d9c prevented RHEL 5 from running bootstrap.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, for fclose and bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Synchronize from upstream.
