[Toybox] [PATCH] Offer flag to only list open FDs.

[Jeff Sharkey]

Doh, I forgot that toybox tries as much as possible to mirror upstream
behavior, so ignore my attempt to redefine "-f".

Looking at the lsof manpage, there isn't really a direct flag that does
what I'm looking for.  :(  The closest thing would be something like:

$ lsof -a -p [pid] -d 0-1024

Which isn't pretty at all.  I think I can get the bare-bones info I need
with `ls -lf /proc/[pid]/fd/`, so I'll go that direction for now.  Sorry
for the noise.
