Oliver Stenbom e8ffb8a74c os: add support for long path names on unix RemoveAll
On unix systems, long enough path names will fail when performing syscalls
like `Lstat`. The current RemoveAll uses several of these syscalls, and so
will fail for long paths. This can be risky, as it can let users "hide"
files from the system or otherwise make long enough paths for programs
to fail. By using `Unlinkat` and `Openat` syscalls instead, RemoveAll is
safer on unix systems. Initially implemented for linux, darwin, dragonfly,
netbsd and openbsd. Not yet implemented on freebsd due to fstatat 64-bit
inode compatibility issues.

Fixes #27029
