t_chmod_secure: probe kernel RESOLVE_BENEATH at runtime; drop test skip

The chmod-symlink-race test was previously a no-op on Solaris,
OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Cygwin via a case 'uname -s' skip.  The skip
was too broad: of the four scenarios the helper exercises, only
the 'legitimate within-tree dir-symlink' one actually needs
RESOLVE_BENEATH-equivalent kernel support.  The other three
(attack rejection, plain relative path, top-level file) behave
identically on the per-component O_NOFOLLOW fallback and would
have caught the t_stub.c max_alloc=0 bug fixed in the previous
commit if the test had been allowed to run.

Make the helper probe the running kernel for either
openat2(RESOLVE_BENEATH) on Linux 5.6+ or openat(O_RESOLVE_BENEATH)
on FreeBSD 13+ / macOS 15+ by opening '.' under the requested
confinement.  Honour the result:

  - If RESOLVE_BENEATH-equivalent confinement is available, the
    within-tree symlink scenario must succeed (status quo).
  - If not, the per-component O_NOFOLLOW fallback rejects every
    symlink including legitimate ones; expect the within-tree
    symlink scenario to be rejected (rc != 0) and the file mode
    to remain unchanged.

The attack-rejection, plain-path and top-level scenarios are
unchanged: they expect the same outcome on both code paths.

Drop the case-based skip from chmod-symlink-race.test so the test
runs everywhere and the per-component fallback gets the CI
coverage that the SunOS/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Cygwin runners can
provide.  HPE NonStop -- which lacks RESOLVE_BENEATH but isn't in
the existing skip list -- is also covered by this change.
