Nils Andreas Svee a598dbdc5c fix(io): address review feedback on interrupted-receive retries
- Error-queue drain: an interrupted MSG_ERRQUEUE read no longer ends
  the bounded drain early as if the queue were empty (which could
  strand a still-queued TX timestamp past the point its probe is
  looked up and removed). It now reports ErrorQueueRecord::Ignored,
  consuming one attempt of the drain's existing per-call work budget
  and retrying the same slot instead.
- Fake-server recv_from test helpers (client_multi_target.rs and
  tests/support/mod.rs) now keep one absolute deadline across
  interruptions, re-applying only the remaining time on each retry
  and restoring the configured timeout afterward, mirroring the
  production blocking-receive fix these tests exist to guard rather
  than restarting the full timeout on every interruption.

//! Safe `MSG_ERRQUEUE` primitives backing the client's TX timestamp capture.
//!
//! A production socket that successfully upgraded to
//! [`TX_TIMESTAMPING_FLAGS`] receives one extended-error record per
//! successfully submitted timestamped datagram on `MSG_ERRQUEUE`.
//! [`try_recv_error_queue_record`] performs one nonblocking read of that
//! queue and [`classify`] turns its ancillary data into an
//! [`ErrorQueueRecord`] without ever panicking or requiring the caller to
//! understand cmsg layout.
