io_uring/openclose: add support for IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL

io_uring can currently open/close regular files or fixed/direct
descriptors. Or you can instantiate a fixed descriptor from a regular
one, and then close the regular descriptor. But you currently can't turn
a purely fixed/direct descriptor into a regular file descriptor.

IORING_OP_FIXED_FD_INSTALL adds support for installing a direct
descriptor into the normal file table, just like receiving a file
descriptor or opening a new file would do. This is all nicely abstracted
into receive_fd(), and hence adding support for this is truly trivial.

Since direct descriptors are only usable within io_uring itself, it can
be useful to turn them into real file descriptors if they ever need to
be accessed via normal syscalls. This can either be a transitory thing,
or just a permanent transition for a given direct descriptor.

By default, new fds are installed with O_CLOEXEC set. The application
can disable O_CLOEXEC by setting IORING_FIXED_FD_NO_CLOEXEC in the
sqe->install_fd_flags member.
