      Fix "stream closed" problem with SSH transport to Cisco devices closing the session with the IO handles still open.

      Description

      There is a widely reported problem with SSH sessions failing. Looking into this, closing the session causes the IO handles to error out

      $ puppet device switch01.example.com --verbose
      		 
      Info: starting applying configuration to switch01.example.com at ssh://switch01.example.com/
      		 
      Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
      		 
      Info: Retrieving plugin
      		 
      Error: Could not retrieve local facts: closed stream
      		 
      Error: Failed to apply catalog: Could not retrieve local facts: closed stream

      Poking around in the author's own code, he's trapping IOError when closing things. This makes perfect sense, as the SSH transport has open IO handles when it closes the session.
