Previously only an integer packed in a tuple was accepted, while
getsockname() could return a raw integer.
Now the result of getsockname() is always acceptable as an address.
Now all protocols always accept the Bluetooth address as string and
getsockname() always returns the Bluetooth address as string.
* BTPROTO_SCO now accepts not only bytes, but str.
* BTPROTO_SCO now checks address for embedded null.
* On *BSD, BTPROTO_HCI now accepts str instead of bytes.
* On FreeBSD, getsockname() for BTPROTO_HCI now returns str instead of bytes.
* On NetBSD and DragonFly BDS, BTPROTO_HCI now checks address for embedded null.
Add two optional, traling elements in the AF_BLUETOOTH socket address tuple:
- l2_cid, to allow e.g raw LE ATT connections
- l2_bdaddr_type. To be able to connect L2CAP sockets to Bluetooth LE devices,
the l2_bdaddr_type must be set to BDADDR_LE_PUBLIC or BDADDR_LE_RANDOM.
* gh-123832: Adjust `socket.getaddrinfo` docs for better POSIX compliance
This changes nothing changes for CPython supported platforms,
but hints how to deal with platforms that stick to the letter of
the spec.
It also marks `socket.getaddrinfo` as a wrapper around `getaddrinfo(3)`;
specifically, workarounds to make the function work consistently across
platforms are out of scope in its code.
Include wording similar to the POSIX's “by providing options and by
limiting the returned information”, which IMO suggests that the
hints limit the resulting list compared to the defaults, *but* can
be interpreted differently. Details are added in a note.
Specifically say that this wraps the underlying C function. So, the
details are in OS docs. The “full range of results” bit goes away.
Use `AF_UNSPEC` rather than zero for the *family* default, although
I don't think a system where it's nonzero would be very usable.
Suggest setting proto and/or type (with examples, as the appropriate
values aren't obvious). Say why you probably want to do that that
on all systems; mention the behavior on the “letter of the spec”
systems.
Suggest that the results should be tried in order, which is,
AFAIK best practice -- see RFC 6724 section 2, and its predecessor
from 2003 (which are specific to IP, but indicate how people use this):
> Well-behaved applications SHOULD iterate through the list of
> addresses returned from `getaddrinfo()` until they find a working address.

Protocol in the address tuple should *not* be in the network-byte-order, because it is converted internally[1].
[1] 89ddea4886/Modules/socketmodule.c (L2144)
network byte order doesn't make sense for a python level int anyways. It's a fixed size C serialization concept.

A few TCP socket options have been added to the Linux kernel these last
few years.
This commit adds all the ones available in Linux 6.0:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.0/source/include/uapi/linux/tcp.h#L91
While at it, the TCP_FASTOPEN option has been moved lower in the list
just to keep the same order as in tcp.h to ease future synchronisations.
