[issue8235] Support FreeBSD's SO_SETFIB in socketmodule.c

[Kyle VanderBeek]

New submission from Kyle VanderBeek <kylev at kylev.com>:

FreeBSD has a [gs]etsockopt() constant used to cause a given socket to use an alternate routing table (FIB); it appeared in FreeBSD 7.1.  It would be useful to have this exposed as a constant in the socket module to allow special routing rules in complex environments.
