SO_INQ makes recvmsg() return the bytes left in the receive queue in an

support it, AF_VSOCK fails with ENOPROTOOPT.
Add it for SOCK_STREAM, reusing the hint already computed for io_uring.
As with TCP_INQ, 1 is reported once the stream is finished so the caller
reads again and sees EOF, and accepted sockets inherit the setting from
the listener. No cmsg is sent when the transport cannot report the queue
length.
SOCK_SEQPACKET is refused, as on AF_UNIX: its transport callback counts
messages, not bytes.
