Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
The misterious windows networking stack...
Using connect instead of WSAConnect causes socket error 10022 under
certain conditions.
See: https://github.com/godotengine/webrtc-native/ (issue 6)
Having to guess, code path for connect is different then WSAConnect with
NULL extra parameters.
The only reference about weird error with this code mentions something
called "Windows Filtering Platform" but windows internals are, as
always, obscure.
This might be something to try and report to Microsoft if anyone has the
time to spare with the likely outcome of being ignored.
On Unix systems, sockets are like file descriptors, and file descriptors
are usually shared among child processes.
This means, that if we spawn a subprocess (or we fork) like we do in the
editor, open file descriptors will leak to the new process.
This causes issue with sockets as they might remain open and bound
(listening) when the original process closes.
Warnings raised by Emscripten 1.38.0 and MinGW64 5.0.4 / GCC 8.3.0.
JS can now build with `werror=yes warnings=extra`.
MinGW64 still has a few warnings to resolve with `warnings=extra`,
and only one with `warnings=all`.
Part of #29033 and #29801.
Fixes the following GCC 5 warnings and actual bugs:

Since Windows 2000:
Calling recv/recvfrom when an ICMP reply was received from a previous
send/sendto, may result in a WSAECONNRESET error.
Since Windows Vista(?)/Windows Server 2008:
Calling recv/recvfrom when an ICMP reply was received from a previous
send/sendto, may also result in a WSAENETRESET error.
Both those features are disabled by this commit using disabling
SIO_UDP_CONNRESET and SIO_UDP_NETRESET on newly created UDP sockets.
WSAPoll is broken by design.
It was announced as the new way to introduce compatibility to posix
sockets, their implementation was broken, and they decided not to fix it.
You can read the full story here:

Unified BSD and Winsock sockets into a single implementation of a
generic NetSocket interface.
This is some ground work for few network improvements:
- Reuse as much code as possible between Posix and Windows.
- Provide a single point of implementation for exotic sdks (consoles).
- Provide platform agnostic StreamPeerTCP and PacketPeerUDP in core.
- Implement connect for UDP allowing for DTLS implementation.
