osrm-routed does not immediately clean up a keep-alive connection when the client closes it. Instead it waits for five seconds of inactivity before removing.

Given a setup with low file limits and clients opening and closing a lot of keep-alive connections, it's possible for
osrm-routed to run out of file descriptors whilst it waits for the clean-up to trigger.

Furthermore, this causes the connection acceptor loop to exit.
Even after the old connections are cleaned up, new ones will not be created. Any new requests will block until the
server is restarted.

You can replicate this by limiting the number of open files (e.g. on Linux ulimit -n 100) and running a script that makes a curl request to a server endpoint in a loop.

while true
do
  curl "http://localhost:5000/match/v1/car/2.320208,48.702049;2.320521,48.702363;2.320843,48.702727;2.320874,48.702761;2.320874,48.702761;2.319644,48.701588" &>/dev/null
done

This commit improves the situation by:

• Immediately closing connections on error. This includes EOF errors
  indicating that the client has closed the connection. This releases
  resources early (including the open file) and doesn't wait for the
  timer.

• Log when the acceptor loop exits. Whilst this means the behaviour
  can still occur for reasons other than too many open files,
  we will at least have visibility of the cause and can investigate further.
