Subject: disablenetwork (v5): Simplify the disablenetwork sendmsg hook.

The idea is that calls like

   sendto(fd, buffer, len, 0, NULL, 0);
   send(fd, buffer, len, 0)
   write(fd, buffer, len)

are all to be permitted but that calls like

   sendto(fd, buffer, len, 0, (struct sockadr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));

are to be rejected when the current task's network is disabled on the grounds
that the former calls must use previously connected sockets but that the latter
socket need not have been previously connected.
