macOS refuses every socket option with EINVAL once the peer has closed
(XNU sosetoptlock, bsd/kern/uipc_socket.c), even with unread data still
buffered. loopd set a read timeout before each read, so on macOS every
frame or response that arrived just before the peer closed was lost:
BrokerPort reported the broker unavailable with "os error 22", and the
llama client failed the same way. Twelve loopd test binaries failed on
macOS; Linux never refuses, so the gate on Talos did not see it.
Both places now go through socket::set_read_timeout, which on Apple
targets takes that one refusal as success: a socket shut in both
directions returns its data or the end at once and cannot block. A
zero timeout is still an error.
