udpsrc gtk-doc documentation refers to sockfd and closefd properties which has
been removed. This patch replaces those references to socket and close-socket
respectively.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Protect caps with the lock.
Don't push the caps event from the set_property function but mark the
pad for reconfiguration so that it will renegotiate and push the new
caps event in the streaming thread.
We should open the socket when going to NULL<->READY and not in the
start/stop vemthod, which is called in READY<->PAUSED. This makes it
possible to allocate a socket without going to PAUSED (and starting the
negotiation).
On Windows it's not possible to bind to a multicast address
but the OS will make sure to filter out all packets that
arrive not for the multicast address the socket joined.
On Linux and others it is necessary to bind to a multicast
address to let the OS filter out all packets that are received
on the same port but for different addresses than the multicast
address
And deprecate the multicast-group property and replace it with the
address property.

This is equivalent to multicast-group currently for backwards compatibility.
In 2.0 this should be handled separately, the former only being the multicast
group and the latter always being the address the socket is bound to, even if
a multicast group is given.
On Windows and OS/X, _get_available_bytes() may not return the size
of the next pending packet, but the size of all pending packets in
the kernel-side buffer, which might be rather large depending on
configuration. Sanity-check the size returned by _get_available_bytes()
to make sure we never allocate more memory than the max. size for
a packet, if it's an IPv4 socket.

Make it possible to set the timeout after we went to the READY state by using
the timeout when checking the condition. This also makes it possible to set the
timeout with a higher granularity than seconds.
udpsrc/udpsink are almost always used with RTP, so let's use an
RTP port as the default port. It's unclear why 4951 was used, it
goes back to early commits in CVS.
It is allowed to send/receive UDP packets with no data. When such
a packet is available, select() will return with success but
ioctl(FIONREAD) will return 0. But a read() must still occur in
order to clear off the UDP packet from the queue.
This patch will read the dataless packet from the socket. If
select() was woken for other reasons (and FIONREAD returns 0),
this may result in a UDP packet getting accidentally dropped.
But since UDP is not reliable, this is acceptable.
NOTE: This patch fixes a nasty bug where sending a dataless
UDP packet to a udpsrc instance will cause an infinite
loop.
