// SendPipe creates a new unix socket pair, sends one end as the attachment
// to a beam message with the payload `data`, and returns the other end.
//
// This is a common pattern to open a new service endpoint.
// For example, a service wishing to advertise its presence to clients might
// open an endpoint with:
//
//  endpoint, _ := SendPipe(conn, []byte("sql"))
//  defer endpoint.Close()
//  for {
//  	conn, _ := endpoint.Receive()
//	go func() {
//		Handle(conn)
//		conn.Close()
//	}()
//  }
//
// Note that beam does not distinguish between clients and servers in the logical
// sense: any program wishing to establishing a communication with another program
// may use SendPipe() to create an endpoint.
// For example, here is how an application might use it to connect to a database client.
//
//  endpoint, _ := SendPipe(conn, []byte("userdb"))
//  defer endpoint.Close()
//  conn, _ := endpoint.Receive()
//  defer conn.Close()
//  db := NewDBClient(conn)
//
// In this example note that we only need the first connection out of the endpoint,
// but we could open new ones to retry after a broken connection.
// Note that, because the underlying service transport is abstracted away, this
// allows for arbitrarily complex service discovery and retry logic to take place,
// without complicating application code.
