Zach Reizner a99954cb7c sys_util: remove Scm struct and sock_ctrl_msg C library
The Scm object was made to reduce the number of heap allocations in
the hot paths of poll loops, at the cost of some code complexity. As it
turns out, the number of file descriptors being sent or received is
usually just one or limited to a fixed amount that can easily be covered
with a fixed size stack allocated buffer.

This change implements that solution, with heap allocation as a backup
in the rare case that many file descriptors must be sent or received.

This change also moves the msg and cmsg manipulation code out of C and
into pure Rust. The move was necessary to allocate the correct amount
of buffer space at compile time. It also improves safety by reducing the
scope of unsafe code. Deleting the code for building the C library is
also a nice bonus.

Finally, the removal of the commonly used Scm struct required
transitioning existing usage to the ScmSocket trait based methods. This
includes all those changes.
