Adhemerval Zanella 0f0a5cd338 linux: Add openat2 (BZ 31664)
The openat2 syscall was added on Linux 5.6, as an extension of openat.
Unlike other open-like functions, the kernel only provides the LFS
variant (so files larger than 4GB always succeed, unlike other
functions with an offset larger than off_t).  Also, similar to other
open functions, the new symbol is a cancellable entrypoint.

The test case added only stress tests for some of the syscalls' provided
functionality, and it is based on an existing kernel self-test.

A fortify wrapper is added to verify the argument size if not larger
than the current support open_how struct.

Gnulib added an openat2 module, which uses read-only for the open_how
argument [1].  There is no clear indication whether the kernel will
indeed use the argument as in-out, how it would do so, or for which
kind of functionality [2]. Also, adding a potentially different prototype
than gnulib only would add extra unnecessary friction and extra
wrappers to handle it.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
