Draft: Add openat for setattr/getattr

Ron Williams requested to merge rw_van/rfcs:openat into master

This RFC proposes a new system call openat for opening an fd for setattr/getattr.

This is an overloading of the POSIX concept of openat, but it seems like a good choice.

The current "named dup" mechanism has current and future risks.
