### Summary
The Linux kernel's `SYS_fchmodat` system call only takes 3 arguments (`dirfd`, `pathname`, `mode`), but our syscall wrapper was passing a 4th `flags` argument that the kernel simply dropped.
This PR cleans up the wrapper to pass the 3 arguments expected by the kernel, and adds a check to `fchmodat` to return `-1` with `ENOTSUP` whenever non-zero flags (like `AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW`) are passed.
Fixes #<!-- -->223072
### Changes
- Cleaned up `linux_syscalls::fchmodat` to pass only 3 arguments to `SYS_fchmodat`.
- Added a check in `fchmodat` entrypoint to set `libc_errno = ENOTSUP` and return `-1` if `flags != 0`.
- Added `libc.hdr.errno_macros` to the CMake dependencies for `fchmodat` and its unit test.
- Added tests in `fchmodat_test.cpp` to verify that passing non-zero flags fails with `ENOTSUP`.
### Testing
- Ran `clang-format` on touched files.
- Built and ran hermetic tests: `libc.test.src.sys.stat.fchmodat_test` (all 3 tests pass: `ChangeAndOpen`, `NonExistentFile`, `UnsupportedFlags`).
