socket: avoid fcntl for read/write_nonblock on Linux
On platforms where MSG_DONTWAIT works reliably on all sockets (so far, I know of Linux), we can avoid fcntl syscalls and implement IO#write_nonblock and IO#read_nonblock in terms of the socket-specific send and recv family of syscalls. This avoids side effects on the socket, and also encourages generic code to be written in cases where IO wrappers like OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket are used. Perhaps in the future, side-effect-free non-blocking I/O can be standard on all files and OSes: https://cr.yp.to/unix/nonblock.html * ext/socket/lib/socket.rb (read_nonblock, write_nonblock): Linux-specific wrapper without side effects [ruby-core:80780] [Feature #13362] * test/socket/test_basicsocket.rb (test_read_write_nonblock): new test git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@58400 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
