Add O_SYMLINK emulation
for MacOSX partial compatibility, defined as O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW. fstat(2) and freadlink(3) works on the resulting file descriptors, but reads on the regular file do not. More complete but more hackish version was developed but deemed too hackish. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation MFC after: 1 week Differential revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56365
