xopen: explicitly report creation failures
If the flags O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both given then open(2) is supposed
to create the file and error out if it already exists. The error
message in that case looks like this:
fatal: could not open 'foo' for writing: File exists
Without further context this is confusing: Why should the existence of
the file pose a problem? Isn't that a requirement for writing to it?
Add a more specific error message for that case to tell the user that we
actually don't expect the file to preexist, so the example becomes:
fatal: unable to create 'foo': File exists
