Jonathan Brouwer b1a9484b1e Rollup merge of #154025 - yungcomputerchair:keepalive, r=joboet
Add `keepalive`, `set_keepalive` to `TcpStream` implementations

## What
The current implementation of `TcpStream` does not expose `SO_KEEPALIVE`: rust-lang/rust#69774

## Why
It seems the reason this has not yet been implemented is because the initial implementation went as far as to take the keepalive interval as a parameter. However, Windows does not directly expose these intervals for reading, causing there to be some debate about the shape of the API (see the discussion of this [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/31945#issuecomment-189784913)).

## How
I am proposing that this API is enabled with a `bool` parameter to align with the implementation in both Windows and Unix, as it is the least common denominator between the two of them. With regards to the call to `setsockopt`, [Windows expects a disable/enable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/so-keepalive), and [Unix does as well](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html).

The extra configuration for Unix that allows the interval to be tweaked could be done through an additional API perhaps, but I don't think that's stopping us from exposing the switch to at least enable the behavior with the OS defaults.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
