  doc: Update regarding Windows <winsock2.h> functions.

  Gnulib module: accept
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is declared in @code{<winsock2.h>}
  instead of @code{<sys/socket.h>}
  on some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the descriptors returned by
  the @code{accept} function cannot be used in calls to @code{read},
  @code{write}, and @code{close}; you have to use @code{recv}, @code{send},
  @code{closesocket} in these cases instead.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), error codes from this function
  are not placed in @code{errno}, and @code{WSAGetLastError} must be used
  instead.
  @item
  On HP-UX 11, in 64-bit mode, when the macro @code{_HPUX_ALT_XOPEN_SOCKET_API}
  is not defined, this function behaves incorrectly because it is declared
  to take a pointer to a 64-bit wide @code{socklen_t} entity but in fact
  considers it as a pointer to a 32-bit wide @code{unsigned int} entity.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  Some platforms don't have a @code{socklen_t} type; in this case this function's
  third argument type is @samp{int *}.
  @item
  On some platforms, this function's third argument type is @samp{void *},
  not @samp{socklen_t *}:
  Solaris 10.
  @end itemize
