Per discussion on cygwin-developers, a Cygwin tmpfile(3) implementation
has been added to syscalls.cc. This overrides the one supplied by
newlib. Then the open(2) flag O_TMPFILE was added to the open call that
tmpfile internally makes.
This v2 patch removes O_CREAT from open() call as O_TMPFILE obviates it.
Note that open() takes a directory's path but returns an fd to a file.
The return value is now -NaN.
This fixes a bug in the mingw-w64 code that was imported into Cygwin.
The fix is consistent with Posix and Linux. It is also consistent
with the current mingw-w64 code, with one exception: The mingw-w64
code sets errno to EDOM if the input is -NaN, but this appears to
differ from Posix and Linux.

Setting up the pty in the master constructor ends up creating a new pty
on every stat(2) call on /dev/ptmx. Only do this when actually opening
the device, not when using the device class in another, non-opening
context.

Both flags are outdated and collide with official flags in
sys/_default_fcntl.h, which may result in weird misbehaviour
of file functions.
O_NOSYMLINK is not used anyway.
O_DIROPEN is used in fhandler_virtual and derived classes.
The collision with O_NOFOLLOW results in spurious EISDIR
errors when, e. g., reading files in the registry.
fhandler_base::open_fs uses O_DIROPEN in the call to
fhandler_base::open, but it's not used in this context
further down the road.
Drop both flags and create an alternative "diropen" bool
flag in fhandler_virtual.
