The function was introduced to WASI about half a year ago after it already
existed in WAMR.
It caused problems with compiling `wasi_socket_ext.c` with the wasi-sdk
that already had this hostcall exported (wasi-sdk >= 15).
The approach we take is the following:
- we update WASI interface to be compatible with the wasi_snapshot_preview1
- compilation with `wasi_socket_ext.c` supports both wasi_sdk >= 15 and wasi_sdk < 15
(although we intend to drop support for < 15 at one point of time)
- we override `accept()` from wasi-libc - we do that because `accept()` in `wasi-libc`
doesn't support returning address (as it doesn't have `getpeername()` implemented),
so `wasi_socket_ext.c` offers more functionality right now
Resolves#1167 and #1528.

Refer to [Networking API design](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/370)
and [feat(socket): berkeley socket API v2](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/pull/459):
- Support the socket API of synchronous mode, including `socket/bind/listen/accept/send/recv/close/shutdown`,
the asynchronous mode isn't supported yet.
- Support adding `--addr-pool=<pool1,pool2,..>` argument for command line to identify the valid ip address range
- Add socket-api sample and update the document
