Now that we have the necessary infrastructure to memexport and
mempimport a memfd memblock, extend that support higher up in the
chain with pstreams.
A PA endpoint can now _transparently_ send a memfd memblock to the
other end by simply calling pa_pstream_send_memblock() – provided
the block's memfd pool was earlier registered with the pstream.
If the pipe does not support memfd transfers, we fall back to
sending the block's full data instead of just its reference.
** Further details:
A single pstream connection usually transfers blocks from multiple
pools including the server's srbchannel mempool, the client's
audio data mempool, and the server's global core mempool.
If these mempools are memfd-backed, we now require registering
them with the pstream before sending any blocks they cover. This
is done to minimize fd passing overhead and avoid fd leaks.
Moreover, to support all these pools without hard-coding their
number or nature in the Pulse communication protocol itself, a new
REGISTER_MEMFD_SHMID command is introduced. That command can be
sent _anytime_ during the pstream's lifetime and is used for
creating on demand SHM ID to memfd mappings.

pa_tagstruct_free_data() is used in only one place
to pass data from a tagstruct to a packet
this patch is a temporary solution which introduces an extra
malloc(); will be resolved shortly...

pa_tagstruct_new() is called either with no data, i.e. (NULL, 0)
to create a dynamic tagstruct or with a pointer to fixed data
introduce a new function pa_tagstruct_new_fixed() for the latter case

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
Done automatically by sed-ing through sources.
A recent patch broke the build on FreeBSD, which does not have
HAVE_CREDS defined. Also, make sure any attempts to enable the
srbchannel on such architectures fail.

This patch adds support to iochannel, pstream and pstream-util
to send file descriptors over a unix pipe.
Currently we don't support writing both creds and fds in the same
packet, it's either one or the other (or neither).

* abstract credential APis a little bit by introducing HAVE_CREDS and a structure pa_creds
* rework credential authentication
* fix module-volume-restore and friends for usage in system-wide instance
* remove loopback= argument from moulde-*-protocol-tcp since it is a superset of listen= and usually a bad idea anyway since the user shouldn't load the TCP module at all if he doesn't want remote access
* rename a few variables in the jack modules to make sure they don't conflict with symbols defined in the system headers
* add server address for system-wide daemons to the default server list for the the client libs
* update todo

* add PA_ prefixes to all global #defines
* modify auth-by-creds: define a new group "pulse-access" which is used for authentication
* add proper privilige dropping when running in --system mode
* create runtime directory once on startup and not by each module seperately
