I'm seeing ENOBUFS on a RAM-starved system, and slowing the
sender down enough for the receiver to drain the buffers seems
to work. ENOMEM and ETOOMANYREFS could be in the same boat
as ENOBUFS.
Watching for POLLOUT events via select/poll/epoll_wait doesn't
seem to work, since the kernel can already sleep (or return
EAGAIN) for cases where POLLOUT would work.

We'll ensure our {send,recv}_cmd4 implementations are
consistent w.r.t. non-blocking and interrupted sockets.
We'll also support receiving messages without FDs associated
so we don't have to send dummy FDs to keep receivers from
reporting EOF.

Actually, sending 4 FDs will be useful for lei internal xsearch
work once we start accepting input from stdin. It won't be used
with the lightweight lei(1) client, however.
For WWW (eventually), a single FD may be enough.

For another step in in syscall reduction, we'll support
transferring 3 FDs and a buffer with a single sendmsg/recvmsg
syscall using Socket::MsgHdr if available.
Beyond script/lei itself, this will be used for internal IPC
between search backends (perhaps with SOCK_SEQPACKET). There's
a chance this could make it to the public-facing daemons, too.
This adds an optional dependency on the Socket::MsgHdr package,
available as libsocket-msghdr-perl on Debian-based distros
(but not CentOS 7.x and FreeBSD 11.x, at least).
Our Inline::C version in PublicInbox::Spawn remains the last
choice for script/lei due to the high startup time, and
IO::FDPass remains supported for non-Debian distros.
Since the socket name prefix changes from 3 to 4, we'll also
take this opportunity to make the argv+env buffer transfer less
error-prone by relying on argc instead of designated delimiters.
