UnixConnection.receiveCredentials

Receives credentials from the sending end of the connection. The sending end has to call g_unix_connection_send_credentials() (or similar) for this to work.

As well as reading the credentials this also reads (and discards) a single byte from the stream, as this is required for credentials passing to work on some implementations.

Other ways to exchange credentials with a foreign peer includes the #GUnixCredentialsMessage type and g_socket_get_credentials() function.
