scm: add SO_PASSPIDFD and SCM_PIDFD
Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogical to SCM_CREDENTIALS,
but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid, which allows programmers not
to care about PID reuse problem.
We mask SO_PASSPIDFD feature if CONFIG_UNIX is not builtin because
it depends on a pidfd_prepare() API which is not exported to the kernel
modules.
Idea comes from UAPI kernel group:
https://uapi-group.org/kernel-features/
Big thanks to Christian Brauner and Lennart Poettering for productive
discussions about this.
