[Libguestfs] [libnbd PATCH v5 3/4] generator: Add APIs to get/set the socket activation socket name

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones at redhat.com>

To allow us to name the socket passed down to the NBD server when
calling nbd_connect_systemd_socket_activation(3), we need to add the
field to the handle and add access functions.

[Laszlo's notes:

  (Message-Id: <20230130225521.1771496-4-rjones at redhat.com>).

- I've renamed "sa_name" to "sact_name", due to <signal.h> reserving
  symbols with the "sa_" prefix. This corresponds to earlier patches in
  this series, such as 'socket activation: rename sa_(tmpdir|sockpath) to
  sact_(tmpdir|sockpath)' and 'ocaml: rename "sa_u" to "saddr_u"'.

- Restricted "set_socket_activation_name" to the "Created" state, per
  Eric's recommendation
  <http://mid.mail-archive.com/n6lzl7ii5m4hu77n7rrzm3uih3tnx457e4y67rghki34b2ghh7@7vyini26mqko>.

- Documented that we are going to pass "unknown" if "socket_name" is set
  to the empty string
  <http://mid.mail-archive.com/oqwjnjvq4phqr76yum6zo5erfrm3tvmyewr5nxru3oxklobpgp@4plkku7opujw>.]

Notes:
    v5:
    
    - restrict the set_socket_activation_name() API to the Created state
      [Eric]
    
    - Explain that not setting (or unsetting) the socket activation name
      results (per update to the next patch) in the child NBD server seeing
      "unknown" [Eric, Laszlo]
    
    - update the commit message accordingly (as the commit message is still
      based on Rich's original); also move the Message-Id tag (identifying
      Rich's original patch) next to the mailing list archive URL
    
    - drop Rich's R-b due to the above changes
    
    - pick up Eric's R-b
    
    v4:
    
    - pick up Rich's R-b
