Let's be extra careful whenever we return from recvmsg() and see MSG_CTRUNC set. This generally means we ran into a programming error, as we didn't size the control buffer large enough. It's an error condition we should at least log about, or propagate up. Hence do that. This is particularly important when receiving fds, since for those the control data can be of any size. In particular on stream sockets that's nasty, because if we miss an fd because of control data truncation we cannot recover, we might not even realize that we are one off. (Also, when failing early, if there's any chance the socket might be AF_UNIX let's close all received fds, all the time. We got this right most of the time, but there were a few cases missing. God, UNIX is hard to use)
