[issue37345] Add formal support for UDPLITE protococl

[Gabe Appleton]

Gabe Appleton <gabe at gabeappleton.me> added the comment:

Its true that this doesnt exist at the C level, however I worry that having it purely through getsockopt() and setsockopt() would make things more confusing, so I added it as a helper function.

I can remove it in lieu of documentation if that would block merging, though I dont think that is the right move here.
