Adding vsock related structures and #defines

Adding vsock related structures and #defines

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add the definitions for vsock sockets to the header files that are included in musl libc:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vsock.7.html  These definitions are located in include/uapi/linux/vm_sockets.h.

Thanks!
Ben

AF_VSOCK support was added in
http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=3d4583c3fba8989a596506619277ecd68768d9ab

otoh the sockaddr type and VMADDR_* macros were not added,
it's not obvious how to do that correctly: the type name
is non-standard so it can only be exposed under _GNU_SOURCE
and the man page says they live in linux/vm_sockets.h so
putting it elsewhere will create conflicts if both linux
and libc headers are included...
