- Allow `accept()` to return transient errors.
The original provision was added to align with preview3 streams that may only fail once. However, after discussing with Dan Gohman, we came to the conclusion that a `stream` of `result<>` could do the trick fine too.
Fixes: WebAssembly#22
- Fold `ephemeral-ports-exhausted` into `address-in-use`. There is no cross-platform way to know the distinction between them.
- Remove `concurrency-conflict` clutter,
and just document it to be always possible.
- Simplify "not supported", "invalid argument" and "invalid state" error cases.
There is a myriad of reasons why an argument might be invalid or an operation might be not supported. But there is few cross platform consistency in which of those error cases result in which error codes. Many wasi-sockets codes were unnecessarily detailed and had no standardized equivalent in POSIX, so wasi-libc will probably just map them all back into a single EOPNOTSUPP or EINVAL or ...
- Remove create-tcp/udp-socket not supported errors.
These stem from back when the entire wasi-sockets proposal was one big single thing. In this day and age, when an implementation doesn't want to support TCP and/or UDP, it can simply _not_ implement that interface, rather than returning an error at runtime.
- Document that `connect` may return ECONNABORTED
- Document the set of socket options that are inherited through `accept`
- Clarify `connect` failure state:
```md
POSIX mentions:
> If connect() fails, the state of the socket is unspecified. Conforming applications should
> close the file descriptor and create a new socket before attempting to reconnect.
WASI prescribes the following behavior:
- If `connect` fails because an input/state validation error, the socket should remain usable.
- If a connection was actually attempted but failed, the socket should become unusable for further network communication.
```
- Clarify `local-address` behavior on unbound socket:
```md
POSIX mentions:
> If the socket has not been bound to a local name, the value
> stored in the object pointed to by `address` is unspecified.
WASI is stricter and requires `local-address` to return `not-bound` when the socket hasn't been bound yet.
```
- Remove TCP_NODELAY for the time being. The semantics of TCP_NODELAY (and TCP_CORK for that matter) and its effects on the output-stream needs to investigated and specified. I don't expect there to be anything insurmountable. Its just that I haven't had the time to do so yet and I can't promise to have it done before the stabilization Preview2. So, in order to get wasi-sockets ready for Preview2, it was discussed to temporarily remove `no-delay` and reevaluate its inclusion before Preview3.
- Introduce new `incoming-datagram-stream` and `outgoing-datagram-stream` types and moved `receive` and `send` methods to those respectively. These streams are returned by `stream` and can be individually subscribed to. This resolves a design issue where a UDP server would end up in a spin loop because `receive` returned EWOULDBLOCK but poll_* always returned immediately because the socket was ready for sending. In this new setup, users can poll each direction separately. Fixes WebAssembly#64
- Dropped the `network` parameter from the `connect` call, because `bind` is now _required_ to perform IO.
- Enable send-like behaviour by making `outgoing-datagram::remote-address` optional. Fixes WebAssembly#57
- Remove the non-essential parameters for now. Post-preview2 these can be reevaluated again.
- Lift the restriction against parsing IP addresses. Before, implementations still needed to parse IP addresses to decide whether or not to return an error.

- Add support for the socket options:
- `is-listening` (`SO_ACCEPTCONN`)
- `keep-alive-count` (`TCP_KEEPCNT`)
- `keep-alive-idle-time` (`TCP_KEEPIDLE`)
- `keep-alive-interval` (`TCP_KEEPINTVL`)
- Tweak existing socket options:
- Rename `keep-alive` to `keep-alive-enabled`, since it is no longer the only "keep-alive"-related option.
- Rename `(set-)unicast-hop-limit` to `(set-)hop-limit`, because the "unicast" qualifier is redundant for TCP.
- Be stricter in that `0` is not a valid value for:
- `set-listen-backlog-size`
- `set-hop-limit`
- `set-receive-buffer-size`
- `set-send-buffer-size`
