test case: multiple applications connect to one sink

TcpSocketImpl forks internally and calls up to the application.  In this case
of just a sink, the server ignores this NotifyNewConnectionCreated upcall
(which it should, what would it do with the socket it gets?).  See the modified
tcp-large-transfer attached for a (admittedly ugly) test case of two
applications connecting and sending to a single sink. 

Are you suggesting that the packet-sink needs to maintain a list of accepted
sockets perhaps, and some per socket state?  Or does the application itself
need to fork for each connection accepted?  To what end, its just a dummy sink
with nothing in it but some application level rx tracing you can hook into.
