Docs for socket BIO.

=head1 NAME
BIO_seed() and BIO_tell() were documented in two other documents, which is redundant. They are now in their own document. Also, in the name section, all the functions described shoud be enumerated. This will also make it much simpler to generate softlinks name like each function to man-pages containing the info.

BIO_s_socket, BIO_new_socket - socket BIO

=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bio.h>
RT4660: BIO_METHODs should be const. BIO_new, etc., don't need a non-const BIO_METHOD. This allows all the built-in method tables to live in .rodata. Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

Document the new BIO functions introduced as part of the size_t work Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org>

BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read or write the underlying socket.

BIO_puts() is supported but BIO_gets() is not.
If the close flag is set then the socket is shut down and closed
when the BIO is freed.
BIO_new_socket() returns a socket BIO using B<sock> and B<close_flag>.
=head1 NOTES
Socket BIOs also support any relevant functionality of file descriptor
BIOs.
The reason for having separate file descriptor and socket BIOs is that on some
platforms sockets are not file descriptors and use distinct I/O routines,
Windows is one such platform. Any code mixing the two will not work on
all platforms.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BIO_s_socket() returns the socket BIO method.
BIO_new_socket() returns the newly allocated BIO or NULL is an error
occurred.
