this method opens the file descriptor with an added O_NONBLOCK flag. This gives us a special behaviour for
FIFOS, when they are not opened by the opposing side:
- opening a pipe for writing will throw an OSError with errno = 6 (ENXIO). This is handled specially in the
WritingPipe class.
- opening a pipe for reading will pass through this method instantly, even if the opposing end has not been
opened yet, but the resulting file descriptor will behave as if O_NONBLOCK is set (even if we remove it
immediately here), resulting in empty reads until data is available. This is handled specially in the
ReadingPipe class.
