fuse: Add FOPEN_STREAM

FOPEN_STREAM, together with FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE must be used on
stream-like file handles that provide both read and write to avoid
hitting deadlock in the kernel.

Please see the following kernel patch for details on how the deadlock
can happen:

	git.kernel.org/linus/10dce8af3422

Adding FOPEN_STREAM to kernel FUSE is in fuse.git#for-next now and is likely
to enter mainline kernel when 5.2 merge window opens way or another:
