// Test sending and receiving a file descriptor.
//
// This test is pretty complex. It ends up spawning test/fixtures/recvfd.js
// as a child to test desired behavior. What happens is
//
//  1. Create an in-memory pipe via pipe(2). These two file descriptors
//     are not visible to any other process, and so make a good test-case
//     for sharing.
//  2. Create a a UNIX socket at SOCK_PATH. When a client connects to this
//     path, they are sent the write end of the pipe from above.
//  3. The client is sent n JSON representations of the DATA variable, each
//     with a different ordinal. We send these delimited by '\n' strings
//     so that the receiving end can avoid any coalescing that hapepns
//     due to the stream nature of the socket (e.g. '{}{}' is not a valid
//     JSON string).
//  4. The child process receives file descriptors and JSON blobs and,
//     whenever it has at least one of each, writes a modified JSON blob
//     to the FD. The blob is modified to include the child's process ID.
//  5. Once the child process has sent n responses, it closes the write end
//     of the pipe, which signals to the parent that there is no more data
//     coming.
//  6. The parent listens to the read end of the pipe, accumulating JSON
//     blobs (again, delimited by '\n') and verifying that a) the 'pid'
//     attribute belongs to the child and b) the 'ord' field has not been
//     seen in a response yet. This is intended to ensure that all blobs
//     sent out have been relayed back to us.
