[Mono-dev] Support 2-args Socket ctor added in .NET 4.5

[Miguel de Icaza]

I am not sure that Unix can support the idiom surfaced by the two-parameter
Socket.

If K wants to be cross platform, it likely needs to create two separate
sockets, one for each domain, and not assume that you can create a single
socket that can be used with multiple domains at once.
