feat(services): Implement nn::socket, nn::nifm, and nn::nim networking services

Add Nintendo Switch network service implementations to support modders
working with network functionality in their game modifications:

- Add nn::socket utilities including InetAton and Connect functions
- Implement sockaddr/in_addr structures matching official Nintendo APIs
- Add nn::nifm networking interface services with IsNetworkAvailable and SubmitNetworkRequest
- Implement nn::nim network installation management services
- Fix BSD socket implementation to properly handle proxy packets
- Add Service_BSD log category for better debugging

These changes provide crucial networking API support for modders like
MaxLastBreath and projects like NX Optimizer (https://www.nxoptimizer.com/)
that need to hook into Nintendo's network services for code injection mods.
This implementation follows the official documentation at SwitchBrew and
enables proper network connectivity in modded games.
