[LTP] [PATCH v3 3/8] fs/acl: Add ACL_OTHER permissions test

[Sachin Sant]

Add acl_other01 test to validate that ACL_OTHER permissions are
not affected by ACL_MASK.

The test verifies that:
- ACL_OTHER entry with rwx permissions allows access
- ACL_MASK set to --- does not restrict ACL_OTHER
- Users not matching owner, named users, or groups use ACL_OTHER

This confirms that ACL_MASK only affects ACL_USER, ACL_GROUP_OBJ,
and ACL_GROUP entries, but not ACL_OTHER.

V3 changes:
- Switch to kernel only test validation to remove dependency on libacl
  and useradd/del commands.
- v2 link https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260604065417.25924-1-sachinp@linux.ibm.com/T/#t

V2 changes:
- Updated copyright header as per LTP format.
- v1 link https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260602121958.27494-1-sachinp@linux.ibm.com/T/#t

V1 changes:
- Use HAVE_LIBACL guards in .c code
- Report TCONF when libacl is not available
- rfc link https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/477836fd-80c8-4168-bfe6-00b374bb2534@linux.ibm.com/T/#t
