journal: when sending huge log messages prefer memfds over temporary files in /dev/shm
Previously when a log message grew beyond the maximum AF_UNIX/SOCK_DGRAM
datagram limit we'd send an fd to a deleted file in /dev/shm instead.
Because the sender could still modify the file after delivery we had to
immediately copy the data on the receiving side.
With memfds we can optimize this logic, and also remove the dependency
on /dev/shm: simply send a sealed memfd around, and if we detect the
seal memory map the fd and use it directly.
