[1522] made sure sending socket token to the boss before receiving the FD.

updated the test to check the sent tokens, skipping them unless we can specify
read timeout so we can avoid deadlock in the worst case.
right now there's one remaining bug: once the boss side socket is closed
subsequent call to requestSocket() will result in SIGPIPE.  I'll fix it
in the next commit.  For now I disabled offending tests.
