bogus patch to bind() dlls/winsock/socket.c (request removal)

A quick foo.c shows that even Windows 98 respects the lack
of the REUSEADDR flag in meaningful ways; the attached
socktest.c shows that binding the same port twice fails
on the second request, but emulating the current Wine
behavior (which can be done by turning on parm #4)
causes a success.

As such, Wine is badly broken; any algorithm that relies
on iterating through possible ports and doing something
meaningful when a port is already in use will be utterly
useless with the current code.

I'll go ahead and see if I can't figure out how to
modify the regression tests to properly test for this.

Cheers,

Jer
