`socketsrc` can be considered a source counterpart to `multisocketsink`.
It can be considered a generalization of `tcpclientsrc` and
`tcpserversrc`: it contains all the logic required to communicate over
the socket but none of the logic for creating the sockets/establishing
the connection in the first place, allowing the user to accomplish this
externally in whatever manner they wish making it applicable to other
types of sockets besides TCP.
This commit essentially copies the implementation directly from
tcpserversrc. Later patches will tidy the implementation up and
re-implement `tcpclientsrc` and `tcpserversrc` in terms of `socketsrc`.

If a buffer is made up of non-contiguous `GstMemory`s `gst_buffer_map`
has to copy all the data into a new `GstMemory` which is contiguous. By
mapping all the `GstMemory`s individually and then using scatter-gather
IO we avoid this situation.
This is a preparatory step for adding support to multisocketsink for
sending file descriptors, where a GstBuffer may be made up of several
`GstMemory`s, some of which are backed by a memfd or file, but I think this
patch is valid and useful on its own.

Canceling the accept/select happens when the source is shut down. This is
not an error and the GST_FLOW_ERROR causes problems when only part of the
pipeline is shut down.

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.
Each write will update the last_activity_time and otherwise we would
compare against a too old current time and immediately timeout because
current time is smaller than last activity time (overflow).

We can't just make a vfunc that takes a union of int
and pointer as argument, and then set up subclass-specific
action signals and signals that take int (in multifdsink's
case) or a GSocket * (in multisocketsink's case), and then
expect everything to Just Work. This blows up spectacularly
on PPC G4 for some reason.
Fixes multifdsink unit test on PPC, and fixes aborts in
multisocketunit test (now hangs in gst_pad_push - progress).
