The current buffer API is pretty much C-specific, and cannot be
adequately described in a way that is friendly to introspection and
language bindings: the passed buffer is allocated by the caller, but the
written size of the buffer is in the return value.
Using GBytes, we get a better API at the cost of an additional
allocation.
`TCP_NODELAY` disables Nagle’s algorithm, which is generally a better
default for modern networks than having it enabled. Nagle’s algorithm
delays sending small data blobs until they fill an entire TCP segment,
so as to amortise the cost of sending the segment.
This improves bandwidth at the cost of latency. Given the large
bandwidth capabilities of most modern networks, most streams are
constrained by latency rather than bandwidth, so disabling Nagle’s
algorithm makes sense.
Various other major bits of software (such as libcurl) already disable
Nagle’s algorithm by default.
Specific applications which need it can turn it back on by calling
`g_socket_set_option()`.

If she socket is dispatched at exactly the previously set ready time,
it should already be considered to have timed out. This can easily
happen in practice when using a low resolution timer.

This should not result in any functional changes, but will eventually
allow glib to be functional on CHERI-enabled systems such as Morello.

Note that the prepare callback only has one caller, which pre-initializes
the timeout argument to -1. That may be an implementation detail and not
publicly promised, but it wouldn't make sense to do it any other way in
the caller.
Also, note that g_unix_signal_watch_prepare() and the UNIX branch of
g_child_watch_prepare() already relied on that.
The generated gir file marks the size parameter as "out" by default. This is wrong in the context of a caller allocated buffer with a given size. Explicitly marking the size parameter as (in) fixes the issue.

If the libc and kernel support `SOCK_NONBLOCK`, we can specify that in
the `socket()` flags, and avoid a subsequent call to `fcntl()` to set
`O_NONBLOCK`.
For modern Linux distributions, this will save a syscall when creating a
socket.

under cygwin socklen_t is signed which leads to warnings like:
warning: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness:
‘long unsigned int’ and ‘socklen_t’ {aka ‘int’} [-Wsign-compare]
In both cases we compare against some small fixed sizes, so cast them
to socklen_t.
cygwin defines socklen_t as int, unlike everywhere else where it is uint32_t (afaics),
so signed vs unsigned.
The recently added -Werror=pointer-sign in 4353813058
makes the build fail under cygwin now with something like:
error: pointer targets in passing argument 5 of ‘getsockopt’ differ in signedness [-Werror=pointer-sign]
This changes guint to socklen_t where needed for getsockname, getpeername and getsockopt.

This will probably make no functional difference, but will squash two
warnings from scan-build:
```

It seems like a reasonable thing to warn about. Initialising the full
union to zero should avoid any possibility of undefined behaviour like
that.

These `memcpy()` calls only happen if `g_inet_address_get_family(group)
== G_SOCKET_FAMILY_IPV4`, so the assertions should never fail.
It’s helpful for understanding the code, and for static analysis, to add
the assertions though.

Coverity CID: #1486858
Credentials are often used to check peer processes details.
With AF_UNIX sockets on Windows, SIO_AF_UNIX_GETPEERPID can
be used to retrive the peer PID.
We will probably introduce more advanced mechanisms later on, though,
but I am not a Windows API expert.

xucred does not provide the peer pid id, but this can be fetched
from the socket LOCAL_PEERPID option. Note that we only support
it when creating the credentials from a local socket, if
the credential comes from a message over a socket the peer
pid id will not be set and -1 will be returned when trying
to get the pid for the credential.

Don’t use an `int`, that’s potentially too small. In practical terms,
this is not a problem, since no socket address is going to be that big.
By making these changes we can use `g_memdup2()` without warnings,

The explanation of this bug has been mentioned in !1823, basically
it fixes some possible integer overflow when message buffer size
is more than G_MAXSSIZE.
- When querying a TCP socket, getsockopt() may succeed but the resulting
`optlen` will be zero. This means we'd previously be reading
uninitialized stack memory in such cases.
- After a file-descriptor has gone through FD-passing, getsockopt() may
fail with EINVAL. At least this is the case with TCP sockets.
- While at it also use SOL_LOCAL instead of hard-coding its value.
Contrary to what the WSARecvFrom seem to imply, a UDP socket is perfectly recoverable and usable after a WSAECONNRESET error (and, I assume, WSAENETRESET).
However GSocket condition has the FD_READ bit set after a UDP socket fails with WSAECONNRESET, even if no data is available on the socket anymore; this causes select calls to report the socket as readable when, in fact, it's not.
The change resets FD_READ flag on a socket upon the above error conditions; there's no 'if' to filter between datagram and stream sockets as the change should be harmless in the case of stream sockets which are, however, very unlikely to be usable after a WSAECONNRESET.
