Various UAPI headers reference 'struct sockaddr'. Currently the
definition of this struct is pulled in from the libc header
sys/socket.h. This is problematic as it introduces a dependency
on a full userspace toolchain.

Add a definition of 'struct sockaddr' to the UAPI headers.
Before that, reorder some problematic header inclusions in the selftests.

Are all those selftests / samples getting broken by this patch set?

I understand that we should avoid libc dependencies in uAPI but at
least speaking for networking - building selftests without libc is..
not a practical proposition?
