    sockets: on accept(2) don't copy all of so_options to new socket
    
    As uncovered by e3ba0d6adde3 we are copying lots of irrelevant options
    from the listener to an accepted socket, even those that aren't relevant
    to a non-listener, e.g. SO_REUSE*, SO_ACCEPTFILTER.  Stop doing that
    and provide a fixed opt-in list for options to be inherited.  Ideally
    we shall not inherit anything at all.  For compatibility inherit a set
    of options that are meaningful for a non-listening socket of a protocol
    that can listen(2).
