adding rsockets support into JDK

[Lu, Yingqi]

Dear all,

I have created a new version of the patch which is available at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ylu/8195160.01/. There are also two class diagrams available at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ylu/8195160-class-diagram.pdf which describe the high level interactions between RDMA Sockets and regular Sockets. 

In this version, I have added RDMA support to Socket, ServerSocket, SocketChannel and ServerSocketChannel. All the newly introduced classes are added into jdk.net module. Before I continue with the effort, I would like to get some feedback to see if this is a reasonable approach to enable the feature.

I am still in the process of writing the JEP, and will submit for review soon.

Thanks,
Lucy
