fixes #872 create unified nng_stream API
This is a major change, and includes changes to use a polymorphic stream API for all transports. There have been related bugs fixed along the way. Additionally the man pages have changed. The old non-polymorphic APIs are removed now. This is a breaking change, but the old APIs were never part of any released public API.

+== NAME
+
+nng_stream_dialer_dial - initiate outgoing byte stream connection
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+void nng_stream_dialer_dial(nng_stream_dialer *d, nng_aio *aio);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_stream_dialer_dial()` attempts to establish a connection to the
+remote peer for the dialer _d_.
+The operation is completed asynchronously, using _aio_.
+
+TIP: The peer address is determined by the address specified using
+xref:nng_stream_dialer_alloc.3str.adoc[`nng_stream_dialer_alloc()`] or
+xref:nng_stream_dialer_alloc_url.3str.adoc[`nng_stream_dialer_alloc_url()`].
+
+If a connection is successfully established, the _aio_ will have the
+resulting
+xref:nng_stream.5.adoc[`nng_stream`] object stored as its first output.
+(See
+xref:nng_aio_get_output.3.adoc[`nng_aio_get_output()`].)
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+None.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+[horizontal]
+`NNG_EADDRINVAL`:: The address specified is invalid.
+`NNG_ECANCELED`:: The operation was aborted.
+`NNG_ECLOSED`:: The dialer is closed.
+`NNG_ECONNREFUSED`:: The connection was refused by the server.
+`NNG_ECONNRESET`:: The connection was reset by the server.
+`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory exists.
