Rename rawsockets module to nativesockets
This change was done to avoid confusion with TCP/IP raw sockets. Native sockets
module represents handling native system low level socket API in general and is
not just limited anyhow to TCP/IP raw sockets.

A stub lib/deprecated/pure/rawsockets.nim module has been added as
compatibility layer for old code using rawsockets, so this change will not
break existing code.

   Changes affecting backwards compatibility
   -----------------------------------------
 
+  - The ``rawsockets`` module has been renamed to ``nativesockets`` to avoid
+    confusion with TCP/IP raw sockets, so ``newNativeSocket`` should be used
+    instead of ``newRawSocket``.
   - The ``miliseconds`` property of ``times.TimeInterval`` is now ``milliseconds``.
     Code accessing that property is deprecated and code using ``miliseconds``
     during object initialization or as a named parameter of ``initInterval()``
