IPC: add a function to check runtime support

Apple sandboxes restrict use of the System V / XSI IPC mechanisms. It's
currently the only restriction we check for. Attempting to use them will
result in SIGSYS delivered to the application, so we shouldn't try.

Linux system call filtration can do the same. In fact, systemd's
SystemCallFilter= options do default to SIGSYS too and it has an @ipc
group that could be used to block SysV. However, the same group blocks
the creation of pipes, so it's not in much use.
