[PATCH v4 3/3] fs: open_by_handle_at() support for decoding "explicit connectable" file handles

Teach open_by_handle_at(2) about the type format of "explicit connectable"
file handles that were created using the AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE flag to
name_to_handle_at(2).

When decoding an "explicit connectable" file handles, name_to_handle_at(2)
should fail if it cannot open a "connected" fd with known path, which is
accessible (to capable user) from mount fd path.

Note that this does not check if the path is accessible to the calling
user, just that it is accessible wrt the mount namesapce, so if there
is no "connected" alias, or if parts of the path are hidden in the
mount namespace, open_by_handle_at(2) will return -ESTALE.
