fcntl FIONBIO doesn't even make sense, it should be fcntl F_SETFL. However, for some reason we are using ioctl by default -- except on Solaris where this doesn't seem to work very well.

Honestly what I would have expected is that we just always use FileDesc::set_nonblocking also for network sockets, but for some reason we don't and there are no comments explaining this choice. Cc @nikarh (for "vita") @joboet

net::tcp/udp: fix docs about how set_nonblocking is implemented

`fcntl` `FIONBIO` doesn't even make sense, it should be `fcntl` `F_SETFL`. However, for some reason we are using `ioctl` by default -- except on Solaris where this doesn't seem to work very well.

Honestly what I would have expected is that we just always use `FileDesc::set_nonblocking` also for network sockets, but for some reason we don't and there are no comments explaining this choice. Cc @nikarh (for "vita") @joboet
