This tries to open the given file to use as stdin, and if it fails,
for any reason, it uses /dev/null instead.
This is useful in cases where we would otherwise do either of these:
```fish
test -r /path/to/file
and string match foo < /path/to/file
cat /path/to/file 2>/dev/null | string match foo
```
This both makes it nicer and shorter, *and* helps with TOCTTOU - what if the file is removed/changed after the check?
The reason for reading /dev/null instead of a closed fd is that a closed fd will often cause an error.
In case opening /dev/null fails, it still skips the command.
That's really a last resort for when the operating system
has turned out to be a platypus and not a unix.
Fixes#4865
(cherry picked from commit df8b9b7095)
`intersects()` is "any of" while `contains()` is "all of" and while it makes no
difference when testing a single bit, I believe `contains()` is less brittle
for future maintenance and updates as its meaning is clearer.
</pedantic>
The lines of code I commented on in #10254 were meant to serve only as examples
of the changes I was requesting, not the only instances.
Also just use `Mode::from_bits_truncate()` instead of unsafe or unwrapping since
we know the modes are correct.
