adding rsockets support into JDK

Hi Alan/Chris,

I am not sure when IPv4-mapped addresses will be supported in rsocket. 

Based on the suggestions earlier this week, I completed the version 19 of the patch at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ylu/8195160.19

Inside that, I have done:
1. Totally removed IPv6 support for rsocket, and removed -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true in all the test cases.
2. Instead of using "librdmacm.so", "librdmacm.so.1" is used for the library name.
3. Caught java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError when rdma library is not installed in the system. A UOE is thrown instead.
4. In the tests, modified both RsocketTest.java RdmaSocketsTest.java to double check UOE on all the platforms when rdma library is not installed.

Then, I just saw your emails on IPv6 handling :-) I can see both advantages and disadvantages of either keeping or removing IPv6 support for rsocket, and totally fine whichever direction you decide. If we want to use protocol family approach, would you please point me to an example so that I can follow? 

Thank you!
Lucy
