Description
To date, the boot net stack only has support for UDP and therefore uses a home-grown protocol for remote disk access.
The attached patch adds initial support for TCP sockets, allowing to connect to and disconnect from a remote server.
Other parts like receiving and sending data are still WIP.

To test the above, compile and run the test server:
gmcs tcpserver.cs mono tcpserver.exe
Change the hexadecimal IP address in the test code to match your server and boot boot_loader_openfirmware via a TFTP server.
I tested it between an OpenSolaris/amd64 host and my PowerMac G3 b&w.

Reads spanning multiple packets are now fixed. Not having heard any comments, I hope it is approaching mergeable state.

I've rebased my branch that contained some improvements on the last draft, and modified the random number generator according to Endre's suggestion and did some Coding Style fixes. I believe it could be merged now.
