os: RemoveAll: fix symlink race for unix

Since all the platforms now support O_DIRECTORY flag for open, it can be
used to (together with O_NOFOLLOW) to ensure we open a directory, thus
eliminating the need to call stat before open. This fixes the symlink race,
when a directory is replaced by a symlink in between stat and open calls.

While at it, rename openFdAt to openDirAt, because this function is (and was)
meant for directories only.

NOTE Solaris supports O_DIRECTORY since before Solaris 11 (which is the
only version Go supports since supported version now), and Illumos
always had it. The only missing piece was O_DIRECTORY flag value, which
is taken from golang.org/x/sys/unix.

Updates #52745.
