fix(php-rpc): carry the worker channel over a socketpair

The transport bound an AF_UNIX path under TMPDIR and waited for the child to
connect. That path has to fit in sun_path (108 bytes), so a deep TMPDIR made
every worker spawn fail, and the bind(2) itself is denied under a sandbox.

The parent now keeps one end of a socketpair and installs the other on
descriptor 3 before exec, which the worker opens as php://fd/3. The pair is
connected from the start, so the accept poll and its ten-second deadline are
gone; a child that dies before reading surfaces as EOF on the first call,
where worker_state already attaches its exit status.

+- A `socketpair(2)` (no Windows support for now). The parent keeps one end and installs the
+  other on descriptor 3 in the child, from a `pre_exec` hook, so the worker opens it as
+  `php://fd/3` rather than connecting anywhere. A bound path would have to fit in `sun_path`
+  (108 bytes), which a long `TMPDIR` overruns, and it needs a `bind(2)` that sandboxes commonly
+  deny. The pair is connected from the start, so nothing has to wait for an `accept` either: a
+  child that dies before reading surfaces as EOF on the first call, with its exit status
+  attached.
 - The PHP glue code (`php/worker.php`) and the proxy stub classes (`php/stubs/`) are embedded in
-  the Rust binary and written to the temp dir at spawn time, so both halves of the protocol are
