[issue38285] Asyncio BaseEventLoop can support socket types other than SOCK_STREAM

[Malversán]

I do not have the answer about getting message boundaries at lower levels, but from a high-level point of view SOCK_SEQ_PACKET gives atomic reads, with no need to check for message boundaries yourself. Every time you read from a SOCK_SEQ_PACKET socket you get an entire message. That is the main difference with SOCK_STREAM, as far as I know.
