Describe the tasks

In an offline discussion with @antonfirsov @dotnet/ncl team, we have decided to do following tasks on conceptual docs:

  • Repurpose Use Sockets to send and receive data as Use Sockets to send and receive data over TCP.
  • Merge all content under TCP as Use TcpClient and TcpListener and move it under the Sockets.
  • Add a remark to Use TcpClient and TcpListener, that we recommend using Socket class directly, instead of it.
  • Create an article for UDP (Use Sockets to send and receive data over UDP) (???)
  • Create an article to show TcpClient usages equivalent to Socket under Use TcpClient and TcpListener.
  • Explain socket states and listening, connecting and accepting.

All other ideas and feedback are appreciated.
