All stdio streams get line buffering with i mode.

* socket.c (open_sockfd): We no longer need to set
stream sockets to line buffered mode here;
it's done in set_mode_props.

* stream.c (set_mode_props): If the mode specifies interactive,
streams open for writing are also switched to line buffering.

* txr.1: Documented under open-file, and open-socket.
