af_unix: MSG_TRUNC support for dgram sockets
Piergiorgio Beruto expressed the need to fetch size of first datagram in queue for AF_UNIX sockets and suggested a patch against SIOCINQ ioctl. I suggested instead to implement MSG_TRUNC support as a recv() input flag, as already done for RAW, UDP & NETLINK sockets. len = recv(fd, &byte, 1, MSG_PEEK | MSG_TRUNC); MSG_TRUNC asks recv() to return the real length of the packet, even when is was longer than the passed buffer. There is risk that a userland application used MSG_TRUNC by accident (since it had no effect on af_unix sockets) and this might break after this patch.
