FreeBSD have the relative-only behaviour for openat() relative to a
Capsicum capability dfd [1], and for a process in capability-mode [2],
but they don't have the O_BENEATH_ONLY as a separately-accessible
openat() flag. However, it seemed like a more widely useful idea so
separating it out was suggested.
