u_long. Before this change it was of type int for syscalls, but prototypes
in sys/stat.h and documentation for chflags(2) and fchflags(2) (but not
for lchflags(2)) stated that it was u_long. Now some related functions
use u_long type for flags (strtofflags(3), fflagstostr(3)).
- Make path argument of type 'const char *' for consistency.

Make write(2) syscall to take descriptor instead of file name.
We implement descriptors by keeping track of open files and allowing to
reference them by the following syscalls. Because pjdfstest already supports
executing multiple syscalls from one command it works pretty well.
For example, the following command:
pjdfstest open foo "O_CREAT,O_RDWR" 0 : open bar "O_CREAT,O_RDONLY" 640 : fchmod 0 0666 : fchown 0 -1 20 : fchmod 1 0444
is equivalent of (error checking omitted):
int fd[2];
fd[0] = open("foo", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0);
fd[1] = open("bar", O_CREAT | O_RDONLY, 0640);
fchmod(fd[0], 0666);
fchown(fd[0], -1, 20);
fchmod(fd[1], 0444);
