faccessat: work around F_OK EOVERFLOW bug
Also, tune when LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK. * doc/posix-functions/faccessat.texi: Mention the problem. * lib/faccessat.c (FACCESSAT_NEVER_EOVERFLOWS) (LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK): Default to 0. (rpl_faccessat): If !FACCESSAT_NEVER_EOVERFLOWS, check for F_OK and EOVERFLOW, which means we can return 0. If LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK, don't worry about file names ending in slashes, as faccessat should already do the right thing for them. * m4/faccessat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FACCESSAT_EOVERFLOW): New macro. (gl_FUNC_FACCESSAT): Use it.
