Migration from previous version

In ITCPServer::IClient calls of method getHandler() should be renamed to getSocket() which returns IClientSocket replacement of former ITCPClient::IHandler. The TCPClient getHandler() is changed in the same way to getSocket() method.

ITCPServer:ERROR_CODE should be changed to ISocket::ERROR_CODE which is declared in Nitisa/Interfaces/INetwork.h header file.
