 - Implement missing `net` methods

-  A pressing issue is: how do we work with windows api functions that are not utf8 aware?

-  E.g. getaddrinfo() is ansi-only; GetAddrInfoW is utf16-only. Can we get utf16 straight out of v8?

-  Are unix sockets similar to windows named pipes? If so, should they be supported? -> currently: no. Complication: they block.

+- New libev backend

+  The current libev backend supports sockets only. This complicates stuff like

     On linux the pid is available immediately because fork() doesn't
