Details:

1. find a free socket seem not efficient (sockets.c: alloc_socket)
   why not add a free list like:

    int free_socks[NUM_SOCKETS];
    int num_free_socks;
   
   alloc_socket:
   if (num_free_socks <= 0)
       return EMFILE;
   num_free_socks--;
   s = free_socks[num_free_socks]

   this improvement take only (NUM_SOCKETS + 1) int ram.

2. tcp_active_pcbs, why not use hash, a 64-slots-hash will greatly improve
perf, only extra 63 pointers taken.

3. socket_event should expose some API so that developer can easily impl their
own poll/epoll/kqueue, like:

   typedef void (*lwip_sock_event_cb)(int sock, int readable, int writeable,
int exception, void *userdata);
   int lwip_sock_reg_event_cb(lwip_sock_event_cb cb, void *userdata);
