Those are not technically extended attributes. getxattr(2) and friends don't
return them. They are inode flags, queried/set by ioctl_iflags(2) on Linux.

We should try to avoid introducing gratuitous incompatibilities. That could
mean more than one new test could be needed.
BSD find uses -flags for something similar. I think GNU find should also use
-flags for inode flags on Linux. It could use the same syntax as chattr(1),
much like how -perm uses the same syntax as chmod(1).
On BSD it should use st_flags and strtofflags(3) to be compatible with the
system find(1).
