Sebastian Wick 1000c71d40 dir: Use fd-relative operations for files/etc during runtime deploy
The runtime deploy path used GFile operations to manipulate files
inside files/etc (passwd, group, machine-id, resolv.conf). While
the "files" directory is validated with glnx_chaseat using
GLNX_CHASE_RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS, "etc" inside it is not checked.
A malicious runtime with files/etc as a symlink causes the GFile
operations (g_file_delete, g_file_replace_contents,
g_file_make_symbolic_link) to follow it and modify files at the
symlink target. On system installs (running as root), this modifies
arbitrary files — e.g. replacing /etc/resolv.conf.

This commit uses fd-based operations to prevent to prevent the symlink
attack.
