[PATCH v10 6/6] Landlock: Document LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET and ABI versioning

Introducing LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET as an IPC scoping
mechanism in Landlock ABI version 6, and updating ruleset_attr,
Landlock ABI version, and access rights code blocks based on that.

v10:
- Update date.
v8:
- Improving documentation by specifying differences between scoped and
  non-scoped domains.
- Adding review notes of version 7.
- Update date.
v7:
- Add "LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET" explanation to IPC scoping
  section and updating ABI to version 6.
- Adding "scoped" attribute to the Access rights section.
- In current limitation, unnamed sockets are specified as sockets that
  are not restricted.
- Update date.

+IPC Scoping
+-----------
+
+Similar to the implicit `Ptrace restrictions`_, we may want to further restrict
+interactions between sandboxes. Each Landlock domain can be explicitly scoped
+for a set of actions by specifying it on a ruleset. For example, if a sandboxed
+process should not be able to :manpage:`connect(2)` to a non-sandboxed process
+through abstract :manpage:`unix(7)` sockets, we can specify such restriction
+with ``LANDLOCK_SCOPED_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET``.
+
+A sandboxed process can connect to a non-sandboxed process when its domain is
+not scoped. If a process's domain is scoped, it can only connect to sockets
+created by processes in the same scoped domain.
+
+IPC scoping does not support Landlock rules, so if a domain is scoped, no rules
+can be added to allow accessing to a resource outside of the scoped domain.
