Description

According to this test, we shouldn't set the right bits of fd_seek on a directory despite the caller set it explicitly.

I'm wondering whether there's any document state out this behavior, and maybe a list of functions that can't apply on directory.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with tests/rust/src/bin/directory_seek.rs and review the existing WASI documentation for fd_seek and directory rights. Determine which behavior is already specified and whether related directory-inapplicable functions are listed. Done means the directory restriction and any supported function list are documented clearly.
