net/linux_kernel: add unnamed Unix-domain addresses

I think it would be useful to have unnamed Unix-domain addressed in
rustix. This PR adds the methods `SocketAddrUnix::new_unnamed()` and
`SocketAddrUnix::is_unnamed()`.

In C it is possible to have an [unnamed Unix-domain] socket name, when
you set `len` = 2 = `sizeof(c::socklen_t)`. Then the kernel will choose
an abstract Unix-domain name for you when you bind the socket. The same
feature present also in Python, when you call [`sock.bind("")`].

Invoking [`SocketAddrUnix::new_abstract_name(b"")`] gives you an empty
abstract socket address, i.e. `SocketAddrUnix::len == 3`. The kernel
will keep this empty abstract name on calling `bind()`.
