William Lallemand 5b19d95850 BUG/MEDIUM: mworker/listener: ambiguous use of RX_F_INHERITED with shards
The RX_F_INHERITED flag was ambiguous, as it was used to mark both
listeners inherited from the parent process and listeners duplicated
from another local receiver. This could lead to incorrect behavior
concerning socket unbinding and suspension.

This commit refactors the handling of inherited listeners by splitting
the RX_F_INHERITED flag into two more specific flags:

- RX_F_INHERITED_FD: Indicates a listener inherited from the parent
  process via its file descriptor. These listeners should not be unbound
  by the master.

- RX_F_INHERITED_SOCK: Indicates a listener that shares a socket with
  another one, either by being inherited from the parent or by being
  duplicated from another local listener. These listeners should not be
  suspended or resumed individually.

Previously, the sharding code was unconditionally using RX_F_INHERITED
when duplicating a file descriptor. In HAProxy versions prior to 3.1,
this led to a file descriptor leak for duplicated unix stats sockets in
the master process. This would eventually cause the master to crash with
a BUG_ON in fd_insert() once the file descriptor limit was reached.

This must be backported as far as 3.0. Branches earlier than 3.0 are
affected but would need a different patch as the logic is different.
