Simon Ser 55ca93469c util/shm: add allocate_shm_file_pair
This function behaves like allocate_shm_file, except it also
returns a read-only FD. This is useful to share the same segment
of memory with many Wayland clients.

util: use shm_open for in-memory files
shm_open is a POSIX function creating an in-memory file. Using it simplifies
the code and removes the dependency on XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. The only downside is
that we need to generate a random name for the shm file.
