For Linux, everything effectively stays the same. For both path-based and
fd-based Utimens() calls, we use unix.UtimesNanoAt(). To avoid introducing
a separate syscall wrapper for futimens() (as done in go-fuse, for example),
we instead use the /proc/self/fd - trick.
On macOS, this changes quite a lot:
* Path-based Utimens() calls were previously completely broken, since
unix.UtimensNanoAt() ignores the passed file descriptor. Note that this
cannot be fixed easily since there IS no appropriate syscall available on
macOS prior to High Sierra (10.13). We emulate this case by using
Fchdir() + setattrlist().
* Fd-based Utimens() calls were previously translated to f.GetAttr() (to
fill any empty parameters) and syscall.Futimes(), which does not does
support nanosecond precision. Both issues can be fixed by switching to
fsetattrlist().

Instead of manually adjusting the user after creating the symlink,
adjust effective permissions and let the kernel deal with it.

Instead of manually adjusting the user and mode after creating the
device file, adjust effective permissions and let the kernel deal
with it.

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 convert all calls to syscall.{Fallocate,Openat}
to syscallcompat .
Both syscalls are not available on OSX. We emulate Openat and just
return EOPNOTSUPP for Fallocate.
