PR ada/6717
* g-socket.ads, g-socket.adb (Inet_Addr): Special case the all-ones
broadcast address.
(Create_Selector): Bind listening socket used to create the signalling
socket pair to 127.0.0.1 to limit the scope for 'theft' of connection.
Set listen backlog to 1 to ensure that we detect socket theft by a
failure of our own connect(2) call.
(Check_Selector): Improve documentation of the selector mechanism.
(Broadcast_Inet_Addr): New constant.
