[PATCH v10 2/2] open16: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular files

Add LTP coverage for kernel commit 30aba6656f61 (Linux 4.19), which
introduced protection against spoofing attacks via O_CREAT of FIFOs and
regular files in world-writable sticky directories.

This commit adds test cases to verify these security restrictions for
opening FIFOs and regular files in world-writable sticky directories.
