os, net, internal/poll: return consistent error for closed socket

In the past we returned "use of closed network connection" when using
a closed network descriptor in some way. In CL 36799 that was changed
to return "use of closed file or network connection". Because programs
have no access to a value of this error type (see issue #4373) they
resort to doing direct string comparisons (see issue #19252). This CL
restores the old error string so that we don't break programs
unnecessarily with the 1.9 release.

This adds a test to the net package for the expected string.

For symmetry check that the os package returns the expected error,
which for os already exists as os.ErrClosed.

Updates #4373.
Fixed #19252.
