Adds fgetxattr/fsetxattr/fremovexattr support for Mac OSX, Solaris, FreeBSD

This wish was initiated due to a bug in the World of Warcraft launcher:

If only there were a wine configuration setting to cause
server/file.c::file_set_sd to:
1) leave the owner permissions intact
2) fake the permission change, or
3) use xattrs to fake the permissions.

The last option would also need an appropriate change to
server/file.c::file_get_sd
server/change.c::dir_set_sd
server/change.c::dir_get_sd

This should go to [e-mail] if you're sure about code or to
[e-mail] if you have some questions. Patches aren't picked up from
bugzilla.

You attached lots of irrelevant code. If you want to make a patch - go for it,
but it can't just add gobs of useless stuff.

I'll close this feature request, as it would be better handled using better
Unix mode handling (i.e. checking groups when creating the mode), and POSIX
ACLs if available (and configured to use them).

These three bugs relate to the improper setting of permissions.  There may be
more.
