```
std: Decouple network streams from fs.File

The overlap between files and sockets is minimal and lumping them
together means supporting only a small subset of the functionalities
provided by the OS.
Moreover the socket and file handles are not always interchangeable: on
Windows one should use Winsock's close() call rather than the one used
for common files.
