Updated default Socket::Listen backlog parameter

Default backlog value was 5, which appears to stem back to the maximum supported by Windows Sockets 1. This was bound to cause problems for applications receiving many connections at the same time. Changed to SOMAXCONN, which is the standard way on Windows and POSIX to use a maximum reasonable backlog value.
