7ef177a8cb sock: Introduction of new application layer API
This introduces a new alternative and better API to `conn`. It differs in the
following aspects:

* a common address type for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is introduced
* communication end-points are abstracted as end-point types `sock_x_ep_t`,
  containing the address, its family, its port (if required for protocol) and
  the interface identifier.
* All functions require some kind of state. Sending of datagrams to the same
  source or replying to incoming datagrams is thus simplified
* TCP connection establishment was overall reworked: connected sockets and
  listening sockets are now two distinct types. An accept on a listening socket
  than yields a connected socket
