shmctl(2) patch

[Conrad Scott]

Attached is a patch to add the shmctl(2) interfaces required by ipcs(8)
(following Linux's example tho' not their exact implementation or code).
While I was at it, I've also made the following changes:

*) Added spare fields to the existing shmid_ds structure for future
expansion; ditto for the new shminfo structure. (Tip of the hat to Linux
there.)

*) There was a problem with having two types called shmid_ds (one a class
for internal use, another a struct for i/face use), which was that they are
both needed to implement shmctl(2) in the dll. So, I've given them different
names, so they can co-exist, and made the class have an instance of the
structure as a field.

*) And I shuffled things around in the two header files in the process: it
satisfies my sense of aesthetics now, YMMV :-)

The ipctests compile and work against these new headers files (i.e. they're
source, tho' not binary, compatible with the previous versions).

I'll go back to looking to see if I can get the shm sub-system working with
the socket transport next (or, at least, trying to understand why it doesn't
work at the moment).

Cheers.
