Caleb JasikandClaude Opus 5.5 10e1924489 udp/darwin: batch sends with sendmsg_x
WriteBatch hands up to 64 datagrams to one sendmsg_x call instead of
one sendto each. The socket is unconnected, so xnu still runs every
message through sendit, per-send MAC checks included; the saving is the
syscall crossings.

xnu's per-message loop stops at the first message that fails. For
EWOULDBLOCK, ENOBUFS and EMSGSIZE it reports how many went out, or the
errno alone when none did; for any other error it returns only the
errno, with the messages before it already sent. So each call carries
one run of datagrams to a single destination, and nothing is resent
after the kernel may have taken it. A datagram that fails on its own
account (a full interface queue, an oversize packet) goes to sendto,
which delivers or reports it, so it costs only itself, as without
batching; a refused destination costs its run. ENOSYS/EOPNOTSUPP, or
EPERM/EINVAL on a datagram sendto then delivers, switch the socket
back to sendto for good.
