af_iucv: Provide new socket type SOCK_SEQPACKET
This patch provides the socket type SOCK_SEQPACKET in addition to
SOCK_STREAM.
AF_IUCV sockets of type SOCK_SEQPACKET supports an 1:1 mapping of
socket read or write operations to complete IUCV messages.
Socket data or IUCV message data is not fragmented as this is the
case for SOCK_STREAM sockets.
The intention is to help application developers who write
applications or device drivers using native IUCV interfaces
(Linux kernel or z/VM IUCV interfaces).
