qio: add support for SO_PEERCRED for socket channel
The function qio_channel_get_peercred() returns a pointer to the credentials of the peer process connected to this socket. This credentials structure is defined in <sys/socket.h> as follows: struct ucred { pid_t pid; /* Process ID of the sending process */ uid_t uid; /* User ID of the sending process */ gid_t gid; /* Group ID of the sending process */ }; The use of this function is possible only for connected AF_UNIX stream sockets and for AF_UNIX stream and datagram socket pairs. On platform other than Linux, the function return 0.
