pid: Implement pidfd_getfd syscall

This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors from other
processes, based on their pidfd. This is possible using ptrace, and
injection of parasitic code to inject code which leverages SCM_RIGHTS
to move file descriptors between a tracee and a tracer. Unfortunately,
ptrace comes with a high cost of requiring the process to be stopped,
and breaks debuggers. This does not require stopping the process under
manipulation.

One reason to use this is to allow sandboxers to take actions on file
descriptors on the behalf of another process. For example, this can be
combined with seccomp-bpf's user notification to do on-demand fd
extraction and take privileged actions. One such privileged action
is binding a socket to a privileged port.
