landlock: Document LANDLOCK_SCOPE_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET

Browse source 
Introduce LANDLOCK_SCOPE_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET as an IPC scoping
mechanism available since Landlock ABI version 6. Update ruleset_attr,
Landlock ABI version, and access rights code blocks based on that.

process, a sandboxed process should have a subset of the target process rules,
which means the tracee must be in a sub-domain of the tracer.
IPC scoping
-----------
Similar to the implicit `Ptrace restrictions`_, we may want to further restrict
interactions between sandboxes. Each Landlock domain can be explicitly scoped
for a set of actions by specifying it on a ruleset. For example, if a
sandboxed process should not be able to :manpage:`connect(2)` to a
non-sandboxed process through abstract :manpage:`unix(7)` sockets, we can
specify such restriction with ``LANDLOCK_SCOPE_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET``.
A sandboxed process can connect to a non-sandboxed process when its domain is
not scoped. If a process's domain is scoped, it can only connect to sockets
created by processes in the same scope.
A connected datagram socket behaves like a stream socket when its domain is
scoped, meaning if the domain is scoped after the socket is connected , it can
still :manpage:`send(2)` data just like a stream socket. However, in the same
scenario, a non-connected datagram socket cannot send data (with
:manpage:`sendto(2)`) outside its scope.
A process with a scoped domain can inherit a socket created by a non-scoped
process. The process cannot connect to this socket since it has a scoped
domain.
IPC scoping does not support exceptions, so if a domain is scoped, no rules can
be added to allow access to resources or processes outside of the scope.
