Rich Felker 7fee5f9606 fix socket.h on mips
why does mips have to be gratuitously incompatible in every possible
imaginable way?

Rich Felker 96107564e2 workaround another sendmsg kernel bug on 64-bit machines
the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead
of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a
length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be
more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only
used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes
over unix sockets.

Rich Felker 6315004f61 initial version of mips (o32) port, based on work by Richard Pennington (rdp)
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.

at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
