That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
Not a single client of this API actually used the event mask feature to
listen for readability AND writability.
Let's simplify the API and have only one hook: on_activation.
When a socket's user doesn't need it to be active, but wants to keep it
open, the socket's notifiers should not be enabled to avoid hogging the
CPU with effectively useless notifications.
This API can be used to disable said notifiers until the user needs the
notifications.
If the server responds with this header, we _must_ close the connection,
as the server is allowed to ignore the socket and not respond to
anything past that response.
Fixes some RequestServer spins.
This was used to work around a possible bug where select() would mark a
socket readable, but another user of the same socket would read before
the notifier's callback is run; let's remove this and fix any issues
regarding that specific situation later when they pop up.
Previously the system would assume the socket was connected after the
file descriptor became writeable. Just because the fd is signaled as
ready for output does not necessarily indicate the socket is connected.
Instead, we should check the status of the socket with SO_ERROR and
handle successes/errors accordingly.
macOS's C library is not a good neighbor and doesn't ensure that
the entry in struct hostent's h_addr_list are aligned properly for
a char const*. In Socket::connect, use ByteReader instead of a c-style
cast to work around this possible misalignment.
Right now Socket::send() assumes that it can send everything in one
go. However, send() is allowed to do partial writes and while that
can't happen at the moment there's nothing that says this can't
happen in the future (like in the next commit).

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
