Linux 6.11 adds some more PIDFD_* constants for 'pidfs: allow retrieval
of namespace file descriptors'
(5b08bd408534bfb3a7cf5778da5b27d4e4fffe12).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.

Linux 6.9 adds some more PIDFD_* constants. Add them to glibc's
sys/pidfd.h, including updating comments that said FLAGS was reserved
and must be 0, along with updating tst-pidfd-consts.py.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.

This interface allows to obtain the associated process ID from the
process file descriptor. It is done by parsing the procps fdinfo
information. Its prototype is:
pid_t pidfd_getpid (int fd)
It returns the associated pid or -1 in case of an error and sets the
errno accordingly. The possible errno values are those from open, read,
and close (used on procps parsing), along with:
- EBADF if the FD is negative, does not have a PID associated, or if
the fdinfo fields contain a value larger than pid_t.
- EREMOTE if the PID is in a separate namespace.
- ESRCH if the process is already terminated.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on Linux 4.15 (no CLONE_PIDFD or waitid
support), Linux 5.4 (full support), and Linux 6.2.

This was added on Linux 5.1(3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad)
as a way to avoid the race condition of using kill (where PID might be
reused by the kernel between between obtaining the pid and sending the
signal).
If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal is equivalent
to kill. If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal is equivalent to
rt_sigqueueinfo.

This was added on Linux 5.6 (8649c322f75c96e7ced2fec201e123b2b073bf09)
as a way to retrieve a file descriptors for another process though
pidfd (created either with CLONE_PIDFD or pidfd_getfd). The
functionality is similar to recvmmsg SCM_RIGHTS.

This was added on Linux 5.3 (32fcb426ec001cb6d5a4a195091a8486ea77e2df)
as a way to retrieve a pid file descriptors for process that has not
been created CLONE_PIDFD (by usual fork/clone).
