Improved compatibility with Finder. Starting with OS X 10.9 syspolicyd (which is running as root) calls getxattr(2) when opening items in Finder. Blocking these calls results in Finder displaying an error message. Therefore we are no longer blocking getxattr(2) calls by root even if allow_root or allow_other is not set.

Tracked as issue #162: "Preview sets quarantine attribute on all files it opens on an SSHFS volume."
Fixed select(2) for FUSE devices on OS X 10.11. The issue was caused by a kernel private struct that has changed between OS X 10.10 and 10.11.

See "select(2) on channel fd hangs and makes system unstable on El Capitan" for details.
