Summary: add SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE constant in socketmodule.c

Initial Comment:
SO_REUSEADDR is has different meaning on windows to
most socket implementations. It alows multiple programs
to bind to the same address/port. 

This can cause very wierd bugs if two programs are used
at the same time. (see
http://www.itamarst.org/writings/win32sockets.html)

Adding SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE constant allows windows
programmers to have the same semantics as unix
