Support gcc-4.x on HP-UX PA-RISC/64
Correct the socketsize. Probably due to big-endian versus
little-endian, this has always worked on Intel CPUs. This
is a very very old problem, and it has been the reason I
never used gcc-4 on PA-RISC, because perl would not pass
the test suite in 64bitall.
Noticeable effects of wrong "$socksizetype" are return codes
of 0 (pass) from functions like getpeername (), but invalid
(or none) data in the returned structures or a return length
of 0 or 256. In the latter case, the length is stored in the
second part of the 64bit long and the 32bit first part is 0.
This might be true on Intel-like machines too, but the tests
will pass, as the significant part of the returned length is
in the first 32bits and a pointer to int will still see that
correct. Mind that in that case the 32bits after that might
have been overridden => can of worms.
