The `Socket` abstraction was refactored to only comprise of methods that can be generically used/applied to all socket domains and protocols. A more comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 module derived from @LemonBoy's earlier work was implemented under `std.x.os.IPv4` and `std.x.os.IPv6`. Using this module, one can then combine them together into a union for example in order to optimize memory usage when dealing with socket addresses. A `TCP.Client` and `TCP.Listener` abstraction is introduced that is one layer over the `Socket` abstraction, which isolates methods that can only be applied to a "client socket" and a "listening socket". All prior tests from the `Socket` abstraction, which all previously operated assuming the socket is operating via. TCP/IP, were moved. All TCP socket options were also moved into the `TCP.Client` and `TCP.Listener` abstractions respectively away from the `Socket` abstraction. Some additional socket options from @LemonBoy's prior PR for Darwin were also moved in (i.e. SIGNOPIPE).

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
