/**
 * Opens unique temporary file with maximum generality.
 *
 * This function is similar to mkstemp() in that it does two things:
 *
 * 1. Generate a unique filename by mutating `template`
 * 2. Return a newly opened file descriptor to the name
 *
 * Exclusive secure access is assured even if `/tmp` is being used on a
 * UNIX system like Super Dimensional Fortress or CPanel where multiple
 * hostile adverserial users may exist on a single multi-tenant system.
 *
 * The substring XXXXXX is replaced with 30 bits of base32 entropy and a
 * hundred retries are attempted in the event of collisions. The XXXXXXX
 * pattern must be present at the end of the supplied template string.
 *
 * If the generated filename needs to have a file extension (rather than
 * ending with random junk) then this API has the helpful `suffixlen` to
 * specify exactly how long that suffix in the template actually is. For
 * example if the template is `"/tmp/notes.XXXXXX.txt"` then `suffixlen`
 * should be `4`.
 *
 * The flags `O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL` are always set and don't need
 * to be specified by the caller. It's a good idea to pass `O_CLOEXEC`
 * and some applications may want `O_APPEND`. Cosmopolitan also offers
 * `O_UNLINK` which will ensure the created file will delete itself on
 * close similar to calling unlink() after this function on `template`
 * which is mutated on success, except `O_UNLINK` will work right when
 * running on Windows and it's polyfilled automatically on UNIX.
 *
 * The `mode` parameter should usually be `0600` to ensure owner-only
 * read/write access. However it may be useful to set this to `0700`
 * when creating executable files. Please note that sometimes `/tmp` is
 * mounted by system administrators as `noexec`. It's also permissible
 * to pass `0` here, since the `0600` bits are always set implicitly.
 *
 * ### Examples
 *
 * Here's an example of how to replicate the functionality of tmpfile()
 * which creates an unnamed temporary file as an stdio handle, which is
 * guaranteed to either not have a name (unlinked on UNIX), or shall be
 * deleted once closed (will perform kNtFileFlagDeleteOnClose on WIN32)
 *
 *     char path[] = "/tmp/XXXXXX";
 *     int fd = openatemp(AT_FDCWD, path, 0, O_UNLINK, 0);
 *     FILE *tmp = fdopen(fd, "w+");
 *
 * Here's an example of how to do mktemp() does, where a temporary file
 * name is generated with pretty good POSIX and security best practices
 *
 *     char path[PATH_MAX+1];
 *     const char *tmpdir = getenv("TMPDIR");
 *     strlcpy(path, tmpdir ? tmpdir : "/tmp", sizeof(path));
 *     strlcat(path, "/notes.XXXXXX.txt", sizeof(path));
 *     close(openatemp(AT_FDCWD, path, 4, O_UNLINK, 0));
 *     printf("you can use %s to store your notes\n", path);
 *
 * @param dirfd is open directory file descriptor, which is ignored if
 *     `template` is an absolute path; or `AT_FDCWD` to specify getcwd
 * @param template is a pathname relative to current directory by default,
 *     that needs to have "XXXXXX" at the end of the string; this memory
 *     must be mutable and should be owned by the calling thread; it will
 *     be modified (only on success) to return the generated filename
 * @param suffixlen may be nonzero to permit characters after the "XXXXXX"
 * @param mode is conventionally 0600, for owner-only non-exec access
 * @param flags could have O_APPEND, O_CLOEXEC, O_UNLINK, O_SYNC, etc.
 * @return exclusive open file descriptor for file at the generated path
 *     stored to `template`, or -1 w/ errno
 * @raise EINVAL if `template` (less the `suffixlen` region) didn't
 *     end with the string "XXXXXXX"
 * @raise EINVAL if `suffixlen` was negative or too large
 * @cancelationpoint
