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.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint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.
For writing, we prefer writing through the srbchannel if one is available,
and we have no ancil data to send.
For reading, we support reading from both in parallel. This meant replicating
a struct used for reading, so a lot of this patch is just a search/replace in
do_read to use the appropriate channel for reading.

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).

The file descriptors are read from the iochannel just like the creds are.
So instead of passing just creds (and creds_valid), we now pass the
entire pa_ancil struct.

is to allocate all audio memory blocks from a per-process memory pool which is
available as read-only SHM segment to other local processes. Then, instead of
writing the actual audio data to the socket just write references to this
shared memory pool.
To work optimally all memory blocks should now be of type PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL or
PA_MEMBLOCK_POOL_EXTERNAL. The function pa_memblock_new() now generates memory
blocks of this type by default.

* 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
