Since the previous commit, the g_unix_connection_send_credentials() /
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() functions now also works on
FreeBSD since GUnixCredentialsMessage now works there.
The main idea is that the g_unix_connection_send_credentials() /
g_unix_connection_receive_credentials() functions are the "main" API
for getting credentials (one way or the other). So it's better to
avoid advertising where it is currently implemented.

- Make GCredentials instance and class structures private so it can't
be subclassed and we don't have to worry about ABI compat
issues. This also allows us to get rid of the GCredentialsPrivate
struct.
- Add a GCredentialsType enumeration that is used whenever exchanging
pointers with the user. This allows us to support OSes with
multiple native credential types. In particular, it allows
supporting OSes where the native credential evolves or even changes
over time.
- Add g_socket_get_credentials() method.
- Add tests for g_socket_get_credentials(). Right now this is in the
GDBus peer-to-peer test case but we can change that later.
- Move GTcpConnection into a separate gtk-doc page as was already
half-done with GUnixConnection. Also finish the GUnixConnection
move and ensure send_credentials() and receive_credentials()
methods are in the docs. Also nuke comment about GTcpConnection
being empty compared to its superclass.

Currently, to implement cancellability correctly, all synchronous
calls to GSocket must be preceded by a g_socket_condition_wait() call,
(even though GSocket does this internally as well) and all
asynchronous calls must do occasional manual
g_cancellable_is_cancelled() checks. Since it's trivial to do these
checks inside GSocket instead, and we don't particularly want to
encourage people to use the APIs non-cancellably, move the
cancellation support into GSocket and simplify the existing callers.

The whole protocol name thing is pretty weird. The getprotobyname functions
seem to only specify one mapping for name <-> ids, so all families/types
must use the same values. Plus the values used for the protocols are
standardized by IANA, so are always the same.
So, we drop using names for protocols, intead introducing an enum with
a few commonly availible and used protocols.
