Use raw pointer instead of shared_ptr
Throughout update_engine, there are many places we pass a shared_ptr of
FileDescriptor, for memory safety. But in many cases, functions only
need to use the pointer througout execution of the function, and do not
need to store these pointers. In these cases, it's perfectly safe to use
a raw pointer. Furthermore, the overuse of shared_ptr make life time of
FileDescriptors unpredictable. This is harmful in context of VABC, where
presence of a file descriptor can cause UnmapAllPartitions() to fail.
Therefore, we switch some of the safe usecases to raw pointer.
