<content type='text'>
Add tests for the new O_EMPTYPATH flag of openat(2)/openat2(2).

Also, the current openat2 tests include a helper header file that
defines the necessary structs and constants to use openat2(2), such as
struct open_how. This may result in conflicting definitions when the
system header openat2.h is present as well.

So add openat2.h generated by 'make headers' to the uapi header
files in ./tools/include and remove the helper file definitions of
the current openat2 selftests.

These were used to build perf to provide defines not available in older
distros, but this was back in 2017, nowadays all the distros that are
supported and I have build containers for work using just the system
headers, so ditch them.

Some of these older distros may not have things that are used in 'perf
trace', but then they also don't have libtraceevent packages, so don't
build 'perf trace'.

We also need to grab a copy of uapi/linux/openat2.h since it is now

Now one can use:

  perf trace -e openat2,pidfd_getfd

To get just those syscalls or use in things like:

  perf trace -e open*

To get all the open variant (open, openat, openat2, etc) or:

  perf trace pidfd*

To get the pidfd syscalls.
