[2/3] Add an initial seal argument to kern_shm_open()

Description

[2/3] Add an initial seal argument to kern_shm_open()

Now that flags may be set on posixshm, add an argument to kern_shm_open()
for the initial seals. To maintain past behavior where callers of
shm_open(2) are guaranteed to not have any seals applied to the fd they're
given, apply F_SEAL_SEAL for existing callers of kern_shm_open. A special
flag could be opened later for shm_open(2) to indicate that sealing should
be allowed.

We currently restrict initial seals to F_SEAL_SEAL. We cannot error out if
F_SEAL_SEAL is re-applied, as this would easily break shm_open() twice to a
shmfd that already existed. A note's been added about the assumptions we've
made here as a hint towards anyone wanting to allow other seals to be
applied at creation.
