With the TRUNC flag, recv returns the untruncated length, which may be longer than the provided buffer. Fix recv_uninit and recvfrom_uninit to handle this case.

This mean that recv_uninit and recvfrom_uninit are unable to return the full untruncated length returned by recv with the TRUNC flag, however it appears that fixing that may require API changes.

Fixes #1153.

With the `TRUNC` flag, `recv` returns the untruncated length, which may
be longer than the provided buffer. Fix `recv_uninit` and
`recvfrom_uninit` to handle this case.

This mean that `recv_uninit` and `recvfrom_uninit` are unable to return
the full untruncated length returned by `recv` with the `TRUNC` flag,
however it appears that fixing that may require API changes.

Fixes #1153.

While recvfrom indeed works, would this be a good candidate for #753?

UDP socket buffers are often quite large, and their recommended size can even reach multiple megabytes (as seen in quic-go, for example). Not having to zero-initialize all of that seems especially desirable.

This is now released in rustix 0.38.37.

@andylizi Sounds good, I've now added a todo box to #753 for it.
