From: Wedson Almeida Filho <wedsonaf@gmail.com>

Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide
functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`.

Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to
perform various operations, and these checks usually take a
`&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function
would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_*
methods from Rust.
