Network headers and __BSD_VISIBLE

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello,

if we do this

#include <sys/socket.h>

in RTEMS, then several features of the network stack are not visible since 
__BSD_VISIBLE is undefined.  This is in contrast to FreeBSD and Linux.  FreeBSD 
for example defines __BSD_VISIBLE in <sys/cdefs.h> depending on other defines. 
  The default is __BSD_VISIBLE defined to 1.  Linux does not use __BSD_VISIBLE 
and exports everything unconditionally.

We should do this similar to FreeBSD.  Here is the part that defines 
__BSD_VISIBLE in the current FreeBSD <sys/cdefs.h>:

  * Deal with all versions of POSIX.  The ordering relative to the tests above is
