Add net module, tests, and docs

What's Changed:

Adds a new module called "Net" with a couple constants, and functions.

I was imagining the next iteration of this to be to move the Socket module into this module, in some capacity.

Yeah moving Socket into a more generic Net module probably makes more sense. Either that or you make separate ones for each (like Python does: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipaddress.html / https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html)

I'll defer to your judgement on how you want to move forward. Adding Socket to Net had me start thinking about sub modules within a module and how that'd work from an implementation perspective and how it'd look from a language perspective. For the latter, I like any of the following but possibly the "/" most.

import Net:Socket

import Net/Socket

Yeah submodules will be an interesting one, we can kind of do it at the moment with from (although only 1 layer deep).

The only other alternative we could potentially have is:

import Net.Socket;

Def worth a think on the best syntax for them

Thanks for this!

I was thinking as well, I probably should have done it a while ago but I can send you an invite to the org if you'd like? You've done more than enough on the repo now to warrant it! Thank you very much!

Whatever works for you, works for me. :) Thanks!
