`msghdr` and `msghdr_const` definitions have been added back the way they were in std.os. std.os.sendmsg has also been modified to accept a msghdr_const again to ensure backwards-compatibility with this PR. Underneath the hood, std.os.sendmsg will @ptrCast the provided msghdr_const into a std.x.os.Socket.Message. `sockaddr_storage` definitions have been added back the way they were in std.os, except that it now simply aliases std.x.os.Socket.Address.Native.Storage as all of std.x.os.Socket.Address.Native.Storage's fields are equivalent to the fields that were previously defined for std.x.os.bits.sockaddr_storage. std.x.os.Socket.sendMessage now no longer is a stub that aliases std.os.sendmsg, but instead calls and handles errors from std.os.system.sendmsg directly. Addresses feedback to urge backwards compatibility from @andrewrk.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
