The main idea is to make DatagramChannel and *SocketChannel behave in
a way that more closely matches the standard, e.g. allow binding
sockets to addresses without necessarily listening on those addresses
and accept null addresses where appropriate. It also avoids multiple
redundant DNS lookups.
This commit also implements CharBuffer and BindException, and adds the
Readable interface.
Avian's ByteBuffer implementation is actually fixed to big endian. So
let's throw an exception if the user tries to change that.

Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
and server socket channels are implemented. This version works but only when
libnative is linked with g++ (because of C++ object creation code that fails
without this linking)
