syscall: remove X__cmsg_data from Cmsghdr

This field is a zero length array and has little use. Since Go 1.5, trailing
zero-length arrays take up space. Both syscall.UnixRights() and
syscall.ParseSocketControlMessage() depend on being able to do an unsafe cast
of socket control message data to Cmsghdr this is only safe if the socket
control message data is greater than or equal to the size of Cmsghdr. Since
control message data that is equal in size to Cmsghdr without X__cmsg_data is
a valid socket control message, we must remove X__cmsg_data or not perform the
unsafe cast.

Removing X__cmsg_data will prevent Go code that uses X__cmsg_data from
compiling, but removing the unsafe cast will cause Go code that uses
X__cmsg_data to fail or exhibit undefined behavior at runtime. It was
therefore decided that removing X__cmsg_data was the better option.

Fixes #17649
