Cross-platform versions of msghdr, sendmsg, recvmsg, linger, and iovec
were provided based on findings from glibc, musl, and Microsoft's
documentation.
Implemented initial Reactor interface for epoll (linux) which wraps
around I/O reactor subsystems such as epoll, kqueue, select, etc. across
different platforms. The Reactor interface allows for driving async I/O
in Zig applications.
A test was added for the Reactor interface to drive a TCP
client/listener socket pair.
A greatest-common-subset of possible socket initialization flags (close
socket on exec syscalls, initialize socket to be non-blocking) were
implemented.
A test was added for using sendmsg/recvmsg syscalls across different
platforms for a TCP client/listener socket pair.

Mainly I wanted Jakub's new macOS code for respecting stack size, since
we now depend on it for debug builds able to pass one of the test cases
for recursive comptime function calls with `@setEvalBranchQuota`.
The conflicts were all trivial.
* `comptime const` is redundant
* don't use `extern enum`; specify a tag type.
`extern enum` is only when you need tags to alias. But aliasing tags
is a smell. I will be making a proposal shortly to remove `extern enum`
from the language.
* there is no such thing as `packed enum`.
* instead of `catch |_|`, omit the capture entirely.
* unused function definition with missing parameter name
* using `try` outside of a function or test
- addrinfo: addr and canonname are switched (wrong layout)
- addrinfo, Flock, msghdr struct: use proper c_xxx type instead of fixed size. it should help using struct on all architectures supported by openbsd
There's no guarantee for the kernel definition to be ABI compatible with
the libc one (and vice versa).
There's also no guarantee of ABI compatibility between musl/glibc.
Fun, isn't it?
