DOC: unreliable sockpair@ on macOS

We discovered that the sockpair@ protocol is unreliable in macOS, this
is the same problem that we fixed in d7f6819. But it's not possible to
implement a acknowledgment once the socket are in non-blocking mode.

The problem was discovered in issue #3045.

Must be backported in every stable versions.
