1. Implement socket endpoints, in particular reading a string descriptio… …

   …n of them
   
   Useful for 3rd-party networking applications that might want to pass around
   service specifiers without worrying whether these are IP addresses, DNS names,
   or UNIX-domain socket paths.
   
   Previously, there was no data type to encapsulate these options together. In
   particular, getAddrInfo had to be used to resolve DNS names into a SockAddr
   before calling connect/bind, but it could not deal with UNIX domain sockets.
   The new function sockNameToAddr takes this role, transparently converting DNS
   names and passing through non-DNS-names unaltered, so that it can be used
   uniformly without worrying about the specific type of input name/address.
