patch

libspectre currently only supports loading from, saving and exporting to, a named file.

The attached patch implements loading from, and saving and exporting to, a file descriptor.

The use case for this is loading working with unlinked files (e.g. a temp file created with O_TMPFILE) and files received via FD passing from another process which the process using libspectre has no access to and thus cannot fopen().
