[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#12519) socklen_t error

["Jason Short" <jdorje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=12519 >

Apparently socklen_t (part of C99) isn't available on some platforms. 
This patch adds a configure check.

I also removed a VMS special case.  If this special case is ever needed 
again it should use a configure check not a platform check.
