[socket-nif-doc] Fixed socket type and function open
The doc for type socket was missing (as it is opaque), so instead its replaced with a simple text referring to the functions open and accept. The open function missed a spec (for open/2), the text for default protocol needed some omrpvement and finally the Extra argument needed explaining.
