Document that set_fd_flags can't set most flags

Many OS's don't support changing most of the descriptor flags on an open descriptor. The two flags WASI has that do seem like they might be portable to allow setting are append
and nonblock
(though of course nonblock
is not implemented for files in most situations anyway).
We should at least document this.
And perhaps we should even remove set-fd-flags
and replace it with just set-append
and set-nonblock
which operate on individual flags.
