utils: add auto_raii helper function

this helper permits to register a resource and cleanup function to keep
exception safety with C like resource. For exemple, to be sure that a
FILE* will be closed, you can use:

auto file = auto_raii(fopen("filename"), fclose);

file will auto cast to FILE* when needed, and will call fclose when
going out of scope.
