libseckey: Protect from symlink-following attacks

When creating or writing files, make sure that the file is not a
sysmlink. Such files created by libseckey are typically stored inside
the zkey repository and the owner and mode of them are changed to.
allow read/write for the owner user and the 'zkeyadm' group. It
would allow a symlink-following attack if the file being created are
symlinks. Make sure to open such files with the 'O_NOFOLLOW' flag.
