The conform/ tests for fcntl.h are failing for XPG3 and XPG4 because
of missing S_IFSOCK.
This is a case of a bogus test. The relevant wording requiring such
constants is, in current POSIX (and this requirement dates back as far
as XPG4), "The <fcntl.h> header shall define the symbolic constants
for file modes for use as values of mode_t as described in
<sys/stat.h>.". Note that this is *file modes* not *file types*.
That makes sense, since the point is presumably for use with functions
such as open that are declared in fcntl.h, where file modes are
relevant but file types aren't. So this patch removes all those
spurious S_IF* expectations for fcntl.h (the macros are generally
still *allowed* through the permission to make everything from
sys/stat.h visible).
