Add accept4() system call.

The accept4() function, compared to accept(), allows setting the new file
descriptor atomically close-on-exec and explicitly controlling the
non-blocking status on the new socket. (Note that the latter point means
that accept() is not equivalent to any form of accept4().)

The linuxulator's accept4 implementation leaves a race window where the new
file descriptor is not close-on-exec because it calls sys_accept(). This
implementation leaves no such race window (by using falloc() flags). The
linuxulator could be fixed and simplified by using the new code.

Like accept(), accept4() is async-signal-safe, a cancellation point and
permitted in capability mode.
