Otherwise e.g. setuid root processes can't connect to the system
bus. This was discovered when porting PolicyKit's pkexec(1) command to
a PolicyKit library using GDBus.

- 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.

Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
