A threaded trick to make the open for writing succeed.
A fifo cannot be opened for writing if it has not been
yet opened by the other hand for reading.
So, we just open the fifo for reading and close it
immediately afterwards.
Once that is done, we can freely keep the fifo open for
writing and write things in it. The writing can fail if
there’s still nothing reading that fifo, but we just yell
an error in that case.
