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.

This write-only option may be used on listeners on Windows platforms to
configure the `SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` that is used when creating the underlying
named pipe.

+## 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.
