After saying the above, I figured I should produce the actual code,
so here it is.  For now at least, I don't plan to check in these changes.

This patch restores most of the code removed by the latest
delta, in order to add an fts_open option, FTS_CWDFD, to
enable the new behavior (it may not be used with FTS_NOCHDIR).
This restores the original default behavior of using chdir/fchdir
when possible.

In restoring that removed code, I spotted a minor lingering bug.
Note the `// FIXME ...' comment, below.
In the version of fts.c before the thread-safe one, that close()
call would have clobbered errno.  Of course, such a comment
would never be checked in -- not deliberately, at least.

FWIW, `make check' passes with and without this patch,
but the new test, tests/du/long-from-unreadable, fails if you
don't use the FTS_CWDFD option in xfts.c.

As I said, I'm reluctant to add this complexity,
without some evidence that it will be used.
