core: add support for naming file descriptors passed using socket activation
This adds support for naming file descriptors passed using socket activation. The names are passed in a new $LISTEN_FDNAMES= environment variable, that matches the existign $LISTEN_FDS= one and contains a colon-separated list of names. This also adds support for naming fds submitted to the per-service fd store using FDNAME= in the sd_notify() message. This also adds a new FileDescriptorName= setting for socket unit files to set the name for fds created by socket units. This also adds a new call sd_listen_fds_with_names(), that is similar to sd_listen_fds(), but also returns the names of the fds. systemd-activate gained the new --fdname= switch to specify a name for testing socket activation. This is based on #1247 by Maciej Wereski. Fixes #1247.
