Fix hang in ext/POSIX/t/sysconf.t on GNU/Hurd
while compiling perl 5.14.2 on GNU/Hurd, I ran into what it seems a
undefined POSIX behaviour in ext/POSIX/t/sysconf.t.
my $fd = POSIX::open($fifo, O_RDWR)
or skip("could not open $fifo ($!)", 3 * @path_consts_fifo);
according to the POSIX open()[1] about O_RDWR,
The result is undefined if this flag is applied to a FIFO.
.... which is actually our case.
Apparently Linux and *FreeBSD (and maybe also OSes) accept this
behaviour, but on GNU/Hurd this causes the open() call to block
undefinitely. Given there's nothing done with the FIFO if not querying
{,f}pathconf() values, the proposed solution I attached is to change
the opening mode to "O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK".
