There are already two copies of this function in QEMU, not to mention
several copies of code for receving FDs.
Rather than adding yet more copies of this functionality it would be
much better to add 2 methods to util/qemu-sockets.{c,h} for sending
and receiving file descriptors and update all existing code to use
them.
