We need be able to test fd-passing of AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockets
from one process to another process on the same system, while
passing it over a AF_UNIX socket between the two processes.
and getpeername() and getsockname() need to return the same
in both processes.

We may need to pass more additional stuff via the socket
and hide it from the caller.

We need that for 2 things:

- dcerpc association group support with a prefork process model
  any process accepts an incoming connection and looks at
  the assoc_group_id field in the dcerpc bind request,
  if it's not 0, it indicates the wish to join an existing
  association. Then we need to hand over the connection
  to the process that already handles the association.

- smb 3.0 multi-channel uses a similar model, there we need to
  look at the client_guid in the negprot request and hand over
  the connection to the smbd process that already handles that
  client (if there's already such a process).

Thanks!
