This mainly fixes Linux vs generic Unix differences, with some differences between Darwin and Freebsd (which are close bit not identical). Should make fixing for other Unix platforms easier. Note there are not yet `runc` equivalents for these platforms; my current use case is image manipulation for the `moby` tool. However there is interest in OCI runtime ports for both platforms. Current status is that MacOS can build and run `ctr`, `dist` and `containerd` and some operations are supported. FreeBSD 11 still needs some more fixes to continuity for extended attributes.

fifo
Go package for handling fifos in a sane way.
// OpenFifo opens a fifo. Returns io.ReadWriteCloser.
// Context can be used to cancel this function until open(2) has not returned.
// Accepted flags:
// - syscall.O_CREAT - create new fifo if one doesn't exist
// - syscall.O_RDONLY - open fifo only from reader side
// - syscall.O_WRONLY - open fifo only from writer side
// - syscall.O_RDWR - open fifo from both sides, never block on syscall level
// - syscall.O_NONBLOCK - return io.ReadWriteCloser even if other side of the
// fifo isn't open. read/write will be connected after the actual fifo is
// open or after fifo is closed.
func OpenFifo(ctx context.Context, fn string, flag int, perm os.FileMode) (io.ReadWriteCloser, error)
// Read from a fifo to a byte array.
func (f *fifo) Read(b []byte) (int, error)
// Write from byte array to a fifo.
func (f *fifo) Write(b []byte) (int, error)
// Close the fifo. Next reads/writes will error. This method can also be used
// before open(2) has returned and fifo was never opened.
func (f *fifo) Close() error
