The NINA socket types have the same values as modnetwork, but that may
change in the future. So check the socket types passed to socket() and
convert them (if needed) to their respective Nina socket types.
Also remove the unnecessary socket type check code from bind(), as pointed
out by @robert-hh.
This was previously implemented by adding additional members to the
mp_obj_type_t defined for each NIC, which is difficult to do cleanly with
the new object type slots mechanism. The way this works is also not
supported on GCC 8.x and below.
Instead replace it with the type protocol, which is a much simpler way of
achieving the same thing.
This affects the WizNet (in non-LWIP mode) and Nina NIC drivers.
This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.

Before this patch, WiFi connection was blocking, and could raise exceptions
if the connection failed for any reason (including timeouts). This doesn't
match the behavior of other WiFi modules, which connect asynchronously, and
requires handling of exceptions on connect. This change makes `connect()`
work asynchronously by scheduling code to poll connection status, and
handle reconnects (if needed), and return immediately without blocking.
Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

This will always have the maximum/minimum size of a mp_obj_type_t
representation and can be used as a member in other structs.

Originally in drivers/ninaw10/nina_wifi_bsp.c but that isn't a QSTR source.
Also remove outdated commment about root pointers in mpconfigport.h.
