PATCH: sysopen (was Re: '>>' does not create file if set -C (noclobber) is active)

The following patch adds that to the system module along with sysseek
and systell. systell is in the form of a math function which I think
is less awkward to use than a builtin.

I've used -u as the option for indicating the file descriptor because it
is consistent with print and read. You have to be a Fortran programmer
for -u to make sense (unit) so it isn't as helpful now as it was when
ksh was written.

-r/-w/-a are provided for read/write/append as these are common. I
probably would have done -c for create except there is both O_CREAT
and O_EXCL. Permissions for created files is specified with -m and an
octal number. Options after -o are case-insensitive with an initial
O_ ignored. For O_CLOEXEC, there is an fcntl based implementation for
Solaris. I didn't include all possible options only those that I tested
and could think of cases where they might be useful. Adding more
wouldn't be hard. O_NOCTTY is included unconditionally.
