libext2fs: add unixfd_io_manager
This new manager is similar to the unix_io_manager except it takes a
file descriptor as first argument instead of a filename.
Some programs may want libext2fs to directly use a fd instead of
letting it opening the file.
The use case for such a io_manager would be to let programs use
a fd even if the filename is unknown:
- the fd comes from a temporary file (O_TMPFILE);
- the fd comes from a unix socket...
Refactoring unix_open() also fix a bug when the IO_DIRECT flag was
specified: ext2fs_get_dio_alignment() was called before the file was
actually opened, resulting in an alignment of 0.
