authenticating users for the control socket

[martin f krafft]

Unless I am doing something wrong, SO_PEERCRED is currently unusable
in Python, for it returns the server process PID, and no ucred
structure:

>>> SO_PEERCRED = 17
>>> s.getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_PEERCRED)
17110
>>> os.getpid()
17110

investigating further...
