New user-space functions:

  . stream_socket_client() - similar to fsockopen(), but more powerful.
  . stream_socket_server() - Creates a server socket.
  . stream_socket_accept() - Accept a client connection.
  . stream_socket_get_name() - Get local or remote name of socket.

Tidy up some leaks and debug printfs.
Move more streams functions into streamsfuncs.c and streamsfuncs.h.
