fix(classify): msgsnd returns status, not bytes — make ret UNCLASSIFIED
msgsnd(2) returns 0 on success or -1 on error; the payload size msgsz is an INPUT argument, never the return value. It was wrongly listed in retClassifications as WriteClassified, which made the stats engine treat its 0 return as "bytes written". Remove it so its return stays UNCLASSIFIED, consistent with its SysV IPC siblings (msgrcv legitimately stays ReadClassified because it returns a received byte count). Regenerated tracepoints/docs accordingly. Verified: mage generate idempotent, mage build OK, internal/generate tests pass, and the TestSysVMsgBasic integration test (added in task 7i0) still passes.
