Remove the NNG_OPT_IPC_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR option.
This is now replaced with nng_listener_set_security_descriptor and nng_stream_listener_set_security_descriptor functions. We may elect to remove these entirely, but for named pipe users they are probably still quite useful. Moving towards UNIX domain sockets would obsolete this functionality.

+## Security Descriptors (Windows Only)
+
+The `NNG_OPT_IPC_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` option is removed, and replaced
+with the functions [`nng_listener_get_security_descriptor`] and
+[`nng_stream_listener_get_security_descriptor`].
+
+Security descriptor support is only relevant to Windows,
+and is presently only supported for IPC when Named Pipes are used.
+Planned future changes to switch to UNIX domain sockets may eliminate
+support for security descriptors altogether in NNG.
