This does not normally happen. But since the --input-ipc-client option
can pass in raw FDs, it's probably a good thing in the interest of
making mistakes obvious. Without this, it just burned a core on invalid
FDs (poll() always returned immediately).
As discussed in the referenced issue. This is quite a behavior change,
bit since this option is new, and not included in any releases yet, I
think it's OK.
Fixes: #7648
While --input-file was removed for justified reasons, wanting to pass
down socket FDs this way is legitimate, useful, and easy to implement.
One odd thing is that

This is just a more convenient way to start IPC client scripts per mpv
instance.
Does not work on Windows, although it could if the subprocess and IPC
parts are implemented (and I guess .exe/.bat suffixes are required).
Also untested whether it builds on Windows. A lot of other things are
untested too, so don't complain.
Just an implementation detail that can be cleaned up now. Internally,
m_config maintains a tree of m_sub_options structs, except for the root
it was not defined explicitly. GLOBAL_CONFIG was a hack to get access to
it anyway. Define it explicitly instead.
On my system, when trying to use mpv with a read-only fd created by
python 3.7, `send` triggers ENOTSOCK, not EBADF. Extend the logic to
detect non-writable fds by this `errno`.
The `strncpy` function will not always place a terminating `NUL` if the
source is longer than the destination buffer. Instead, let `strncpy`
truncate as it normally would, but leave the last byte alone (it is
zero-initialized when declared).
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().
win32 changes untested.
While this is perfectly OK on Unix, it causes annoying valgrind
warnings, and might be otherwise confusing to others.
On Windows, the runtime can actually abort the process if this is
called.

They're useless, and I have no idea what they're actually supposed to do
(wrt. pending input processing changes).
Also remove their implicit uses from the IPC handlers.
This workaround prevented that libmpv users could accidentally crash
when the SIGPIPE signal was triggered by FFmpeg's OpenSSL/GnuTLS usage.
But it also modifies the global signal handler state, so remove it now
that this workaround is not required anymore.
For clang, it's enough to just put (void) around usages we are
intentionally ignoring the result of.
Since GCC does not seem to want to respect this decision, we are forced
to disable the warning globally.
This implements the JSON IPC protocol with named pipes, which are
probably the closest Windows equivalent to Unix domain sockets in terms
of functionality. Like with Unix sockets, this will allow mpv to listen
for IPC connections and handle multiple IPC clients at once. A few cross
platform libraries and frameworks (Qt, node.js) use named pipes for IPC
on Windows and Unix sockets on Linux and Unix, so hopefully this will
ease the creation of portable JSON IPC clients.
Unlike the Unix implementation, this doesn't share code with
--input-file, meaning --input-file on Windows won't understand JSON
commands (yet.) Sharing code and removing the separate implementation in
pipe-win32.c is definitely a possible future improvement.
