LibIPC: Support sending file descriptors :^)

Browse source 
It is now possible to use the special IPC::File type in message arguments. In
C++, the type is nothing more than a wrapper over a file descriptor. But when
serializing/deserializing IPC::File arguments, LibIPC will use the sendfd/recvfd
kernel APIs instead of sending the integer inline.

This makes it quite convenient to pass files over IPC, and will allow us to
significantly tighten sandboxes in the future :^)
