Starting with the LSM syscalls, I want any new user visible API that
can support multiple LSMs to have support for multiple LSMs.  Yes, the
setselfattr API doesn't support multiple LSMs, but that is because we
agreed there was never going to be a way to safely support that usage.
In this particular case, that same argument does not apply, we could
have multiple LSMs returning a socket's network peer information (even
if we don't currently see that), so let's make sure our API supports
it from the start.

Unrelated to the above, it would also be good to datagram support as a
patch 2/2 thing in a future version of this patchset.  Please be
careful not to carry over the mistakes we made with SCM_SECURITY (see
the GH discussion linked below).
