+mimalloc: use SYS_openat instead of SYS_open (Android seccomp).
+
+CPython bundles mimalloc since 3.13. On Android, mimalloc's load-time constructor
+(mi_process_load -> unix_detect_overcommit, Objects/mimalloc/init.c) reads
+/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory through mi_prim_open. On platforms where SYS_open
+is defined (x86_64) mi_prim_open issues the bare open(2) syscall directly (to
+avoid recursion while mimalloc is still initializing). Android's bionic seccomp
+policy forbids open(2) -- only openat(2) is permitted -- so the kernel raises
+SIGSYS (SYS_SECCOMP) and the process is killed at dlopen() of libpython, before
+the interpreter starts. 3.12 has no mimalloc; arm64 is unaffected (it has no
+SYS_open, so mimalloc falls back to libc open(), which bionic routes through
+openat). SYS_openat(AT_FDCWD, ...) is semantically identical and allowed.
