For every IPC message sent, we currently prepend the message size to the
IPC message buffer. This incurs the cost of copying the entire message
to its newly allocated position. Instead, reserve the bytes for the size
at the front of the buffer upon creation. Prevent dangerous access to
the buffer with specific public methods.
This large block of code is repeated nearly verbatim in LibWeb. Move it
to a helper function that both LibIPC and LibWeb can defer to. This will
let us make changes to this method in a singular location going forward.
Note this is a bit of a regression for the MessagePort. It now suffers
from the same performance issue that IPC messages face - we prepend the
meessage size to the message buffer. This degredation is very temporary
though, as a fix is imminent, and this change makes that fix easier.

If you don't need a file descriptor after sending it to someone over
IPC, construct it with IPC::File(fd, IPC::File::CloseAfterSending)
and LibIPC will take care of it for you. :^)
