Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen 3c43f71084 Implement file descriptor passing.
This change refactors the Unix socket / pipe backend to have a ring buffer
containing segments, where each segment has an optional leading ancillary
buffer containing control messages followed by a normal data buffer.

The SCM_RIGHTS control message has been implemented which transfers file
descriptors to the receiving process. File descriptors are reference counted
and cycles are prevented using the following restrictions:

1) Unix sockets cannot be sent on themselves (on either end).
2) Unix sockets themselves being sent cannot be sent on.
3) Unix sockets cannot send a Unix socket being sent on.

This is a compatible ABI change.

Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen 29555d72bb Fix <fcntl.h> including <sys/stat.h> namespace pollution.
POSIX allows <fcntl.h> to include <sys/stat.h>, but doesn't require it.
There's little reason to do that, since they are separate headers, and
<fcntl.h> just needs the mode_t constants. Fix the code accidentally
relying on <fcntl.h> including <sys/stat.h>. The mode_t constants are now
provided in their own kernel header <sortix/mode.h>.

Additionally fix <sys/stat.h> pulling in all of <sys/types.h>, which is not
allowed by POSIX, which only requires a few types to be declared. Fix the
code accidentally relying on <sys/stat.h> including <sys/types.h>.

Finally fix <dirent.h> pulling in <stdint.h> through <sortix/dirent.h>.

The <sortix/__/dt.h> and <sortix/__/stat.h> headers are no longer required
and their contents have been merged into <sortix/__/dirent.h>.
