We don't know a state behind an external socket. It depends on logic
of the program, which handles this socket.
The patch adds ability to load a library with callbacks for dumping
and restoring external sockets, character devices. In a future we can
add callbacks for other external objects.
Now a library can have:
* two functions cr_plugin_init and cr_plugin_fini, which are called
on loading and unloading.
* two callbacks cr_plugin_{dump,restore}_unix_sk for dumping and restoring
unix sockets.
* two callbacks cr_plugin_{dump,restore}_file for character devices.
If a callback can not handle an object, it must return CRIU_CB_SKIP.
v2: * Scan libraries in a predefined directory. The path cab be set by
the -L option or the CRIU_LIBS_DIR environment
* Look up all callbacks on loading of libraries
* The test uses two libraries
v3: add callbacks for character devices.
v4: rework callbacks for dumping files.
v5: use -ENOTSUP instead of CRIU_CB_SKIP
open files in the criu_plugin_restore_files() callbacks
v6: set USK_CALLBACK, if a socket was dumped by callback
v7: add separate type for unsupported files
