[Bug libc/2448] New: msg_controllen should be typed as socklen_t

["michael dot kerrisk at gmx dot net" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

In <bits/socket.h>, the msg_controllen field of the msghdr 
field is typed as size_t (perhaps because the definition was
based on the kernel_size_t used in the Linux kernel).  
However, POSIX reguires this field to be typed as socklen_t,
and glibc should probably do this.
