posix: convert static inline functions to library functions
With CONFIG_NET_POSIX_NAMES being deprecated, convert static
inlines in headers to prototypes, and move implementations
to lib/posix/options/net.c .
Since select and poll should technically also operate on
non-socket file descriptors, these may be relocated in the
future.
Below are some reasons for this change.
1. So posix calls are regular symbols and not directly inlined
as syscalls. This is also the most portable linkage type.
2. Many posix calls are cancellation points and additional
checks are necessary within the implementation.
3. The more we add to an inline call, the less sense it makes
for that call to be inline.
4. When the implementation of a posix function changes, the
interface for it should still remain consistent.
Note: the same principles have been applied in Zephyr's
posix implementation already, e.g. clock_gettime(), so this
is nothing new.
