This PR is the second in a series that will implement the path resolution algorithm described by wasi-filesystem. This PR currently targets the main branch and thus includes changes in part 1 (#2254). When #2254 is merged I'll rebase this PR.

This PR adds the readlinkat(2) syscall to Linux and Darwin and the equivalent on Windows. This is needed to support the path resolution algorithm by expanding symlinks as we encounter them when resolving paths.

This commit adds the `openat` functionality to `sys.FS`.  On UNIX-like
platforms, this is done with the `openat(2)` syscall.  On Windows, this
is done with [`NtCreateFile`][1].  This is the first in a series of
commit that overhauls how paths are resolved.  The wasi-filesystem spec
now [describes][2] a path resolution implementation that uses `openat`.

This commit adds the `ReadLinkAt` functionality needed to implement
proper path resolution in WASI.  On Linux, it's implemented by stringing
together `fstatat` and `readlinkat(2)`.  On Darwin, since `fstatat(2)`
does not support the `AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW` flag, we use `lstat(2)`.
