/* Securely obtain a fd for the path-based backing store. Either create it fresh
 * (O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW at `mode`, default 0600 = owner-only), or, if it
 * already exists, attach to it (O_RDWR|O_NOFOLLOW, no O_CREAT). O_EXCL blocks a
 * pre-seeded or hard-linked file and O_NOFOLLOW a symlink swap, so a local
 * attacker can no longer redirect or poison the backing store through the path.
 * Cross-user sharing is opt-in via a wider `mode` (e.g. 0660); the caller still
 * validates the file's contents. */
