John Ericson bbcf2041e1 File system error improvements
- Make `descriptorToPath` cross-platform (renamed from
  `windows::handleToPath`). Uses `/proc/self/fd` on Linux and
  `F_GETPATH` on macOS. Add `HAVE_F_GETPATH` meson check.

  This is based on 7226a116a0, which was
  removed in 479c356510, but is now
  introduced more judiciously.

- Unix error messages in `readFull`, `writeFull`, `readLine` now include
  file paths via `descriptorToPath`.

- Convert `std::filesystem::filesystem_error` to `SystemError`

  Wrappers like `readLink`, `createDirs`, `DirectoryIterator`, etc. now
  catch `std::filesystem::filesystem_error` and rethrow as `SystemError`
  with the error code preserved. This ensures consistent exception types
  throughout the codebase.

  Call sites that previously caught `filesystem_error` and rethrew with
  `throw;` now throw `SystemError(e.code(), ...)` instead.

  Some call sites can stop catching `filesystem_error` at all,
  because they only call the wrapped functions.

- Rework `SystemError` constructors to auto-append error message

  The public `SystemError(std::error_code, ...)` constructor now
  automatically appends `errorCode.message()` to the error message.
  A protected constructor takes an explicit error message string for
  subclasses.

  `SysError` delegates to the protected constructor with `strerror(errNo)`.
  `WinError` delegates with `renderError(lastError)` (now static).

  This removes the need to manually append `e.code().message()` at call
  sites when converting `filesystem_error` to `SystemError`.

- Use perfect forwarding (`Args &&...` with `std::forward`) consistently
  in `BaseError`, `SystemError`, `SysError`, and `WinError` constructors.
