downloadunicorn-b652fa51c1342496bdcdecca8e567f1fb46c41c9.tar.gz
kgio is an extra download and shared object which costs users
bandwidth, disk space, startup time and memory.  Ruby 2.3+
provides `Socket#accept_nonblock(exception: false)' support
in addition to `exception: false' support in IO#*_nonblock
methods from Ruby 2.1.

We no longer distinguish between TCPServer and UNIXServer as
separate classes internally; instead favoring the `Socket' class
of Ruby for both.  This allows us to use `Socket#accept_nonblock'
and get a populated `Addrinfo' object off accept4(2)/accept(2)
without resorting to a getpeername(2) syscall (kgio avoided
getpeername(2) in the same way).

The downside is there's more Ruby-level argument passing and
stack usage on our end with HttpRequest#read_headers (formerly
HttpRequest#read).  I chose this tradeoff since advancements in
Ruby itself can theoretically mitigate the cost of argument
passing, while syscalls are a high fixed cost given modern CPU
vulnerability mitigations.

Note: no benchmarks have been run since I don't have a suitable
system.
