Subject: [ruby-core:82047] [Ruby trunk Feature#13743] Support linking of files opened with O_TMPFILE

Issue #13743 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka).


I feel this is too Linux and environment specific.
For example, it depends /proc/fd.

I think that it is better to provide linkat(2) directly.
(Extend File.link or add File.linkat.)

----------------------------------------
This patch enables linking of files opened with O_TMPFILE into file system.
Users can make a temporary file persistent as named file.

```ruby
File.open(".", IO::WRONLY|IO::TMPFILE) do |f|
  f.write("content")
  f.chmod(0600)
  File.link(f, "file_name") # make temporary file persistent
end
```
