Update the list of allowed transport options
We are now up to date with regard to transport options we should accept for the listening socket. Documentation of existing options has been updated with regard to recent changes in the OTP docs and type specifications.

Option descriptions
-------------------
None of the options are required.
-The default value is given next to the option name.
+Please consult the `gen_tcp` and `inet` manuals for a more
+thorough description of these options. This manual only aims
+to provide a short description along with what the defaults
+are. Defaults may be different in Ranch compared to `gen_tcp`.
+Defaults are given next to the option name.
- backlog (1024)
- Max length of the queue of pending connections.
+ - buffer
+ - Size of the buffer used by the Erlang driver. Default is system-dependent.
+ - delay_send (false)
+ - Always queue packets before sending, to send fewer, larger packets over the network.
+ - dontroute (false)
+ - Don't send via a gateway, only send to directly connected hosts.
+ - exit_on_close (true)
+ - Disable to allow sending data after a close has been detected.
+ - fd
+ - File descriptor of the socket, if it was opened externally.
+ - high_msgq_watermark (8192)
+ - Limit in the amount of data in the socket message queue before the socket queue becomes busy.
+ - high_watermark (8192)
+ - Limit in the amount of data in the ERTS socket implementation's queue before the socket becomes busy.
+ - inet
+ - Set up the socket for IPv4.
+ - inet6
+ - Set up the socket for IPv6.
- ip
- Interface to listen on. Listen on all interfaces by default.
+ - keepalive (false)
+ - Enable sending of keep-alive messages.
- linger ({false, 0})
- Whether to wait and how long to flush data sent before closing the socket.
+ - low_msgq_watermark (4096)
+ - Amount of data in the socket message queue before the socket queue leaves busy state.
+ - low_watermark (4096)
+ - Amount of data in the ERTS socket implementation's queue before the socket leaves busy state.
- nodelay (true)
- Whether to enable TCP_NODELAY.
- port (0)
- TCP port number to listen on. 0 means a random port will be used.
+ - priority (0)
+ - Priority value for all packets to be sent by this socket.
+ - recbuf
+ - Minimum size of the socket's receive buffer. Default is system-dependent.
- send_timeout (30000)
- How long the send call may wait for confirmation before returning.
- send_timeout_close (true)
- Whether to close the socket when the confirmation wasn't received.
+ - sndbuf
+ - Minimum size of the socket's send buffer. Default is system-dependent.
+ - tos
+ - Value for the IP_TOS IP level option. Use with caution.
-The `raw` option is unsupported.
+In addition, the `raw` option can be used to set system-specific
+options by specifying the protocol level, the option number and
+the actual option value specified as a binary. This option is not
+portable. Use with caution.
