[issue1646] Make socket support TIPC.

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

I've chatted with albertito a few days ago and adviced him to post the
patch here. I'll take it.

>From the first review the patch looks good. The code is written cleanly
and it uses the appropriate API. The new code is surrounded by ifdefs
and it has a patch for configure.in. I'll do the autoreconf to update
the other files locally.

The patch is missing documentation updates, Misc/NEWS update and some
unit tests. The docs should list the new constants and explain TIPC
briefly in a few sentences. You don't need to write a novell ;)
