I am really not convinced that it is a good idea to store redundant
information in LISTEN_NAMES, especially if we don't have this
information in all cases anyway.

Please, let's keep this simple: LISTEN_NAMES should only carry actual
names, nothing else, and let's query the kernel for the actual fd
types.

There's really no point in storing the types in $LISTEN_NAMEs, since
this code is no way performance senstive...

The "sd_" prefix we add for exported functions, don't bother with it
for internal calls.

assert_return() we use for verifiying parameters passed in from
external users to check for programming errors. Since this function is
static this generally doesn't apply. See CODING_STYLE for details...
