I think it would make sense to ignore connected sockets with
security_unix_may_send() because it should already be controlled by
security_unix_stream_connect().  This would still allow passed/inherited
connected sockets to be used, which is an important feature and would
be consistent with read/write on other passed FDs.  This would not work
with dgram sockets though.

We need tests for this case and with different socket modes (inspired by
the net_test.c:protocol variants).
