[phobos] Status on std.socket and std.socketstream

[Masahiro Nakagawa]

Last year, I tried std.socket improvement(not finished).

If you try replacement, you may implement event module or
work cooperatively with other people (Probably Max and Jonas).

In the future, std.stream will be replaced with new stream module.
I think current std.socketstream should be removed.

One question:
Socket itself is not networking part. std.net.socket is good place?
