These are Linux-specific system calls for efficiently reading and
writing memory in foreign processes.
A new RemoteIovec type is added for use in these wrappers, as Iovec's
Base field is a pointer, and creating invalid pointers is invalid in
Go.

openat2 is a new syscall added to Linux 5.6. It provides a superset
of openat(2) functionality, providing a way to extend it in the future,
and (for now) adding flags telling the kernel how to resolve the path.
For more info on openat2, see https://lwn.net/Articles/803237/
A primitive test case is added to check that Openat2 works as
it should. Tested to skip on kernel 5.5 and pass on 5.6.
