* bpo-45772: socket.socket should be a class instead of a function
Currently `socket.socket` is documented as a function, but it is really
a class (and thus has function-like usage to construct an object). This
correction would ensure that Python projects that are interlinking
Python's documentation can properly locate `socket.socket` as a type.
Replace old names when they refer to actual versions of macOS.
Keep historical names in references to older versions.

* Enum: streamline repr() and str(); improve docs
- repr() is now ``enum_class.member_name``
- stdlib global enums are ``module_name.member_name``
- str() is now ``member_name``
- add HOW-TO section for ``Enum``
- change main documentation to be an API reference
Add :noindex: to duplicated documentation to fix "duplicate object
description" errors.
For example, fix this Sphinx 3 issue:
Doc/library/configparser.rst:1146: WARNING: duplicate object
description of configparser.ConfigParser.optionxform, other instance
in library/configparser, use :noindex: for one of them
The previous double colon was wrongly place directly after Therefore.
Which produced a block without syntax highlighting. This fixes it
by separating the double colon from the text. As a result, sphinx now
properly highlights the python code.

The socket module now has the socket.send_fds() and socket.recv.fds() functions.

Expose the CAN_BCM SocketCAN constants used in the bcm_msg_head struct
flags (provided by <linux/can/bcm.h>) under the socket library.
This adds the following constants with a CAN_BCM prefix:
* SETTIMER
* STARTTIMER
* TX_COUNTEVT
* TX_ANNOUNCE
* TX_CP_CAN_ID
* RX_FILTER_ID
* RX_CHECK_DLC
* RX_NO_AUTOTIMER
* RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME
* TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX
* RX_RTR_FRAME
* CAN_FD_FRAME
The CAN_FD_FRAME flag was introduced in the 4.8 kernel, while the other
ones were present since SocketCAN drivers were mainlined in 2.6.25. As
such, it is probably unnecessary to guard against these constants being
missing.
At the moment you can definitely use UDPLITE sockets on Linux systems, but it would be good if this support were formalized such that you can detect support at runtime easily.
At the moment, to make and use a UDPLITE socket requires something like the following code:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, 136)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.setsockopt(136, 10, 64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
If you look at this through Wireshark, you can see that the packets are different in that the checksums and checksum coverages change.
With the pull request that I am submitting momentarily, you could do the following code instead:
```
>>> import socket
>>> a = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> b = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM, socket.IPPROTO_UDPLITE)
>>> a.bind(('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(16)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(32)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
>>> b.set_send_checksum_coverage(64)
>>> b.sendto(b'test'*256, ('localhost', 44444))
```
One can also detect support for UDPLITE just by checking
```
>>> hasattr(socket, 'IPPROTO_UDPLITE')
```

It turns out doing socket.listen(0) does not equal to "choose a
reasonable default". It actually means "set backlog to 0".
As such set backlog=None as the default for socket.create_server.
Fixes the following BB failures:
