Dear Maintainer,

faccessat supports the flag AT_EMPTY_PATH since Linux 5.8 but
this option is still missing in the man page.

(actually Linux 5.8 added faccessat2: glibc wrapper for faccessat
 uses faccessat2, and faccessat2 does support AT_EMPTY_PATH).

I think the standard text used in many other -at man page could fit
here, too.

AT_EMPTY_PATH (since Linux 5.8)
        If  pathname is an empty string, operate on the file referred to
        by dirfd (which may have been obtained using the open(2)  O_PATH
        flag).   In  this case, dirfd can refer to any type of file, not
        just a directory.  If dirfd is AT_FDCWD, the  call  operates  on
        the current working directory.  This flag is Linux-specific;
        define _GNU_SOURCE to obtain its definition.

Thank you
        renzo
