support release() on pipes
Pipes on their own are not very useful. You either inherit a pipe (e.g. stdin, stdout, stderr), or create new pipes to be sent over (e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS), and then use them as part of some IPC layout.
We have assign() to create new pipes from received fds (e.g. SCM_RIGHTS), but there's no corresponding release() to get a pipe end created from Boost.Asio and sending it over to other processes.
release() is missing.
Other Boost.Asio IO objects have the release() method.
