Introduced the LFS_O_SNAPSHOT flag

LFS_O_SNAPSHOT brings back some of littlefs's idiosyncratic behavior
removed in the changes to open file syncing in a form that may be more
useful for users.

LFS_O_SNAPSHOT allows you to open a "snapshot" of a file. This is a cheap,
local copy of a file who's changes are not reflected on disk.

Internally, snapshot files use the same mechanism as pending writes. A
separate, copy-on-write CTZ skip-list is created, with read-only
references to the existing data blocks until a write occurs. The
difference is that snapshot files are not enrolled in the mlist, meaning
they won't get updates from open file syncs, and during close their
contents are simply discarded.

As an extra benefit, LFS_O_CREAT | LFS_O_SNAPSHOT is equivalent to
Linux's O_TMPFILE, making it easy to create temporary, unnamed files.

This may be useful for embedded development, where unnamed flash-backed
buffers may provide a slower, but larger, alternative to RAM-backed
buffers.
