The following O_* flags are present in the macOS 11 SDK, but aren't provided by posixmodule.c:

O_FSYNC (alias for O_SYNC)
O_EVTONLY
O_SYMLINK
O_NOFOLLOW_ANY

Likewise for O_POPUP and O_ALERT, although I don't understand what these are supposed to do.

I can see some users use such flags with manual mapping
Looks good to support it :)

O_FSYNC could be used as an alias of O_SYNC.
O_EVTONLY is used for kqueue API.

but other flags I don't know where to use it.
So I submit the patch to add O_FSYNC and O_EVTONLY only.

If other flags should be added, please let me know
