ssize_t not defined in sockconn.c (PR#8889)

This is already fixed in 2.3.1 beta: see the R FAQ for reporting on 
current versions only.

Problem:
Build of R failed when compiling sockconn.c.  The problem seemed to be
that ssize_t was not defined.

The following change in sock.h fixes the problem, though it's probably
not fixed the _right_ way.
No, it's not.  The right way is to ensure that a suitable header file is 
includer.  ssize_t is not int on 64-bit platforms.
/* Following line changed by WTR (Cira) to overcome make problem.
#if defined Win32 && !defined _SSIZE_T_
typedef int ssize_t;
#endif
*/
typedef int ssize_t;

Thanks!
Wade

Strange, which actual OS is this?  It has been defined in glibc since at 
least 2.3.0.
