We never had an implementation for linkat() because no one used it;
now someone uses it. link() is now implemented on top of linkat().
Note the abnormal AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW (as opposed to _NOFOLLOW) flag.

The _plain thing was added because of clashes between Linux
("struct stat64 for 64-bit file sizes") and Darwin ("struct stat
is already 64 bits"). But it turns out not to be enough,
because stat will *fail* if it cannot represent a file size,
so when something like unlinkat() calls a non-64-bit stat in
order to determine whether a file exists, it gets the wrong
answer if the file is over 2GB in size.
Solution: Continue using PSEUDO_STATBUF, and also provide
defines for base_stat() which can be either real_stat() or
real_stat64(), etcetera.
This eliminates any reason to need the _plain functions. It
also suggests that the other real___fxstatat() calls should
someday go away because that is an ugly, ugly, implementation
detail.
As part of testing this, fix up some bitrot which affected
Darwin (such as the continue outside of a loop, but inside
an #ifdef; that was left over from the conversion of
init_one_wrapper to a separate function).

the 0100 bit for directories. The reason is that otherwise we create
plain files which are 0700 on disk, which means they're non-zero &0111,
which breaks euidaccess(X_OK).

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented
as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic
idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic
stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary
one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X
10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support
for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases.
There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent
calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
