Review Request (M) - 7157695 - Add windows implementation of socket interface

[Christian Thalinger]

I'm pretty sure this gets us into trouble with some compiler somewhere (I'd guess GCC on Linux).  On Mac OS X send is declared as:

     ssize_t
     send(int socket, const void *buffer, size_t length, int flags);

but length is now passed as int:

-inline int os::send(int fd, char* buf, size_t nBytes, uint flags) {
+inline int os::send(int fd, char* buf, int nBytes, int flags) {
   RESTARTABLE_RETURN_INT(::send(fd, buf, nBytes, flags));
 }

I think your changes are good but we might need some casts down in the OS files eventually.

This made the win implementation possible without casts, and allowed me to remove a lot of redundant casts from the jni exports in jvm.cpp.
