Sockets: Added support for SO_KEEPALIVE and TCP_NODELAY

Introduce QAbstractSocket::setSocketOption that allows
to set the socket options for TCP Keep Alive and
TCP_NODELAY (disabling Nagle's Algorithm).

+    \enum QAbstractSocket::SocketOption
+    \since 4.6
+
+    This enum represents the options that can be set on a socket.
+    If desired, they can be set after having received the connected() signal from
+    the socket or after having received a new socket from a QTcpServer.
+
+    \value LowDelayOption Try to optimize the socket for low latency. For a QTcpSocket
+    this would set the TCP_NODELAY option and disable Nagle's algorithm. Set this to 1
+    to enable.
+    \value KeepAliveOption Set this to 1 to enable the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option
