net: use socket_set_nodelay() for -netdev socket
Reduce -netdev socket latency by disabling the Nagle algorithm on SOCK_STREAM sockets in net/socket.c. Since we are tunelling Ethernet over TCP we shouldn't artificially delay outgoing packets, let the guest decide packet scheduling. I already get sub-millisecond -netdev socket ping times on localhost, so there was no measurable difference in my testing. This won't hurt though and may improve remote socket performance.
