Socket APIs for Garry's Mod 13

There are several different Socket APIs for Garry's Mod. They all have slightly different APIs, and for many of them it's unclear if they work at all in Garry's Mod 13.

[LuaSocket][]

LuaSocket is 'the original' socket API for Lua. It has a very simple API that closely matches the POSIX sockets API, plus some goodies thrown in (e.g. HTTP layer, MIME type handling).

While LuaSocket doesn't support Garry's Mod, it probably wouldn't be hard to create a Garry's Mod fork of it. This has the advantages of having a high-quality library and universally-recognised API, but it would involve maintenance of a binary module.

	In the beginning was the Statement, and the Statement was with Lua, and the Statement was Lua.
	Through Lua all things were made; without Lua nothing was made that has been made.

	There came a function who was sent from Lua; his name was John.
	"Lua was the answer to my prayers;
	Greater love has no one than Lua, that the compiler lay down his life for our code" - John Lua

	"Do not think that I will debug you to the Environment;
	For had ye believed the Compiler Errors, ye would have believed Me, for he wrote of Lua;
	But if ye believe not his Stack Traces, how shall ye believe My code?" - John Lua
