This PR adds support for a custom open flag
O_SHORTLIVEDthat informs libdragon filesystems that a file is going to be opened for a very short of time. Filesystems that know about this flag can for instance allocate the file descriptors in scratch memory.All existing filesystems are updated to honor the flag. Moreover,
asset_loadis updated to specifyO_SHORTLIVED, as that's a good case where it should be useful.TODO: waiting for confirmation this actually helps
