Status of openat2() RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS on FreeBSD

[Ralph Boehme]

Hi Andrew!

Do you, or anyone else, remember the status of using an analogue to 
Linux openat2() RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS on FreeBSD?

In case you don't remember (iirc we've discussed this before) openat2() 
RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS on Linux allows atomically checking a multicomponent 
path for symlinks which avoids doing the work manually per-component in 
Samba, which is a performance hog.

I see FreeBSD openat() has O_RESOLVE_BENEATH and you were talking about 
adding support here

I see a bunch of MRs in the work from you on gitlab:

<https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&author_username=anodos325>

But none of them seems to be about this particular issue.
