This patch introduces support for the SOCK_NONBLOCK flag in socket,
socketpair, and  paccept.  To do this the internal function sock_attach_fd
gets an additional parameter which it uses to set the appropriate flag for
the file descriptor.

Given that in modern, scalable programs almost all socket connections are
non-blocking and the minimal additional cost for the new functionality
I see no reason not to add this code.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
