MAX_SOCK_NUM for W5500 #11

The W5500 chip has max. 8 sockets. But it is defined in ethernet.h and w5100.h only with max. 4 Sockets.

This is by design. Very likely going to change the W5500 default to 4K buffers, since it makes a substantial improvement on connections with typical non-LAN network latency. The extra sockets also consume extra RAM due to the state caching, which is a big deal on memory-limited AVR.
