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.
