[phobos] Breaking changes for std.socket improvement

[Sean Kelly]

When I converted the Phobos license, I only changed the modules where the author could be contacted for permission.  The exceptions were:

base64 - Chris Miller
loader - Matt Wilson
md5 - RSA Data Security
openrj - Matt Wilson
perf - Matt Wilson
socket - Chris Miller
socketstream - Chris Miller
stream - Pavel Minayev

Since most/all of these modules are destined for a rewrite or removal, I hope it doesn't prove to be much of an issue.  By the way, I do think I could reach Matt Wilson if need be.  Neither of the other two though.
