Add two more error codes that may be relevant to correctly implement xattr.

ENOATTR is macOS-specific (BSD-specific, to be exact). On Linux, ENODATA is commonly aliased by ENOATTR, which is why this impl does the same. It is expected to be returned instead of ENODATA when a getxattr can not find the given attr.

E2BIG is expected to be returned by setxattr, when the given value is... too big.

Interesting curiosity.

As a side-note, on the netbsd kernel mailing list exists a converstion about ENODATA vs ENOATTR: https://tech-kern.netbsd.narkive.com/JcRAFrPC/enoattr-vs-enodata
