Revert defective O_SEARCH implementation committed by manu@ along with
the *at system calls on November 18th of last year. Reasons to revert
it include:
   - it is incorrect in a whole variety of ways (but fortunately, one
     of them is that the missing and improper permission checks have
     no net effect);
   - it was committed without review or discussion;
   - core ruled that all the new O_* flags pertaining to the *at calls
     needed to wait until their semantics could be clarified.

manu was asked to revert it on these grounds but has ignored the request.

I have left O_SEARCH defined and visible and made open() explicitly
ignore it. This way, most code that tries to use it will continue to
build and run. I've also arranged lib/libc/c063/t_o_search.c so that
the tests that make use of the O_SEARCH semantics will disappear until
O_SEARCH comes back, and fixed some mistakes and/or incorrect hacks
that were causing some of these to succeed despite the broken O_SEARCH
implementation.
