[RFC PATCH 01/24] pidfd: add spawn builder uapi

[Li Chen]

Define PIDFD_EMPTY, the fsconfig-style configuration command and path
key, and versioned run arguments for pidfd spawn builders. Add the
initial ordered file-action records.

Store userspace pointers in full-width aligned containers on every ABI.
Keep flags and reserved fields zero so later kernels can extend the
structures without changing their initial layout.
