canonicalize: prefer faccessat to stat

A proper faccessat doesn't have the EOVERFLOW problem, and can be
more efficient as it needn't gather data from the filesystem to
fill in struct stat.  So use stat only if faccessat is absent,
or when checking for symlink loops in canonicalize.c.
* lib/canonicalize-lgpl.c, lib/canonicalize.c:
Include fcntl.h, for AT_EACCESS.
(FACCESSAT_NEVER_EOVERFLOWS): Default to false.
(file_accessible): New function, based on faccessat but with
a fallback to stat and with an EOVERFLOW workaround.
(dir_check): Use it.
(dir_suffix): New static constant.
* lib/canonicalize-lgpl.c (FACCESSAT_NEVER_EOVERFLOWS) [_LIBC]:
Use __ASSUME_FACCESSAT2 to set FACCESSAT_NEVER_EOVERFLOWS
(__faccessat) [!_LIBC]: Define.
(realpath_stk): Use dir_suffix now.
* lib/canonicalize.c (canonicalize_filename_mode_stk):
If logical, don't check each component's existence; just check
at the end, as that's enough.
* m4/canonicalize.m4 (gl_FUNC_CANONICALIZE_FILENAME_MODE)
(gl_CANONICALIZE_LGPL_SEPARATE):
Require gl_FUNC_FACCESSAT_EOVERFLOW,
gl_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK, and check for faccessat.
(gl_CANONICALIZE_LGPL_SEPARATE): Do not check for readlink,
as the code does not use HAVE_READLINK.
* modules/canonicalize, modules/canonicalize-lgpl (Files):
Add m4/faccessat.m4, m4/lstat.m4.
(Depends-on): Add fcntl-lh.
