4ea4d63008 Everywhere: Replace Unix socket IPC transport with Mach ports on macOS
On macOS, use Mach port messaging instead of Unix domain sockets for
all IPC transport. This makes the transport capable of carrying Mach
port rights as message attachments, which is a prerequisite for sending
IOSurface handles over the main IPC channel (currently sent via a
separate out-of-band path). It also avoids the need for the FD
acknowledgement protocol that TransportSocket requires, since Mach port
right transfers are atomic in the kernel.

Three connection establishment patterns:

- Spawned helper processes (WebContent, RequestServer, etc.) use the
  existing MachPortServer: the child sends its task port with a reply
  port, and the parent responds with a pre-created port pair.

- Socket-bootstrapped connections (WebDriver, BrowserProcess) exchange
  Mach port names over the socket, then drop the socket.

- Pre-created pairs for IPC tests and in-message transport transfer.

Attachment on macOS now wraps a MachPort instead of a file descriptor,
converting between the two via fileport_makeport()/fileport_makefd().

The LibIPC socket transport tests are disabled on macOS since they are
socket-specific.

674075f79e Everywhere: Remove LibCore/System.h includes from header files
This reduces the number of compilation jobs when System.h changes from
about 750 to 60. (There are still a large number of linker jobs.)

db8c443392 Everywhere: Make TransportSocket non-movable
Instead of wrapping all non-movable members of TransportSocket in OwnPtr
to keep it movable, make TransportSocket itself non-movable and wrap it
in OwnPtr.
