The function used to do two things:
1) Walk the directory tree in a manner safe from symlink attacks
2) Open the final component in the mode requested by the caller
This change drops (2), which was only used once, and lets the caller
handle it. This simplifies the function and makes it fit for reuse in
forward mode in openBackingPath(), and for using O_PATH on Linux.
These were silently ignored until now (!) but
are rejected by Go 1.11 stdlib.
Drop the flags so the tests work again, until
we figure out a better solution.

xfstests generic/083 fills the filesystem almost completely while
running fsstress in parallel. In fsck, these would show up:
readFileID 2580: incomplete file, got 18 instead of 19 bytes
This could happen when writing the file header works, but writing
the actual data fails.
Now we kill the header again by truncating the file to zero.
We are clean again.

On mips64le, syscall.Getdents() and struct syscall.Dirent do
not fit together, causing our Getdents implementation to
return garbage ( https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/200
and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23624 ).
Switch to unix.Getdents which does not have this problem -
the next Go release with the syscall package fixes is too
far away, and will take time to trickle into distros.
Add faccessat(2) with a hack for symlink, because the
kernel does not actually looks at the passed flags.
From man 2 faccessat:
C library/kernel differences
The raw faccessat() system call takes only the first three argu‐
ments. The AT_EACCESS and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags are actually
implemented within the glibc wrapper function for faccessat().
...when opening intermedia directories to give us an
extra layer of safety.
From the FreeBSD man page:
This flag can be used to prevent applications with elevated
privileges from opening files which are even unsafe to open with O_RDONLY,
such as device nodes.
Now that we have Fstatat we can use it in Getdents to
get rid of the path name.
Also, add an emulated version of getdents for MacOS. This allows
to drop the !HaveGetdents special cases from fusefrontend.
Modify the getdents test to test both native getdents and the emulated
version.
If the user manages to replace the directory with
a symlink at just the right time, we could be tricked
into chown'ing the wrong file.
This change fixes the race by using fchownat, which
unfortunately is not available on darwin, hence a compat
wrapper is added.
Scenario, as described by @slackner at
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/177 :
1. Create a forward mount point with `plaintextnames` enabled
2. Mount as root user with `allow_other`
3. For testing purposes create a file `/tmp/file_owned_by_root`
which is owned by the root user
4. As a regular user run inside of the GoCryptFS mount:
```
mkdir tempdir
mknod tempdir/file_owned_by_root p &
mv tempdir tempdir2
ln -s /tmp tempdir
```
When the steps are done fast enough and in the right order
(run in a loop!), the device file will be created in
`tempdir`, but the `lchown` will be executed by following
the symlink. As a result, the ownership of the file located
at `/tmp/file_owned_by_root` will be changed.
...and if Getdents is not available at all.
Due to this warning I now know that SSHFS always returns DT_UNKNOWN:
gocryptfs[8129]: Getdents: convertDType: received DT_UNKNOWN, falling back to Lstat
This behavoir is confirmed at http://ahefner.livejournal.com/16875.html:
"With sshfs, I finally found that obscure case. The dtype is always set to DT_UNKNOWN [...]"
The Readdir function provided by os is inherently slow because
it calls Lstat on all files.
Getdents gives us all the information we need, but does not have
a proper wrapper in the stdlib.
Implement the "Getdents()" wrapper function that calls
syscall.Getdents() and parses the returned byte blob to a
fuse.DirEntry slice.
