binder: Split flat_binder_object
flat_binder_object is used for both handling binder objects and file descriptors, even though the two are mostly independent. Since we'll have more fixup objects in binder in the future, instead of extending flat_binder_object again, split out file descriptors to their own object while retaining backwards compatibility to existing user-space clients. All binder objects just share a header.
