With IORING_REGISTER_USE_REGISTERED_RING, an application can register the ring fd and use it via registered index rather than installed fd. This allows using a registered ring for everything *except* the initial mmap. With IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP, io_uring_setup uses buffers allocated by the user, rather than requiring a subsequent mmap. The combination of the two allows a user to operate *entirely* via a registered ring fd, making it unnecessary to ever install the fd in the first place. So, add a flag IORING_SETUP_REGISTERED_FD_ONLY to make io_uring_setup register the fd and return a registered index, without installing the fd. This allows an application to avoid touching the fd table at all, and allows a library to never even momentarily install a file descriptor. This splits out an io_ring_add_registered_file helper from io_ring_add_registered_fd, for use by io_uring_setup.
