We need SocketTransportService to work on socket process for socket I/O

To be more specific, the main thread of socket process should work like the current STS thread on chrome process.

I personally don't agree with this but.  I would leave the main thread as is to be able to process OS events, if necessary.

STS thread still can be a worker thread, as is now on the parent process.  These days we are capable of delivering IPC directly to background threads, so I don't see a problem with that.

W/F, we are already successfully running an STS thread on the socket process as a worker thread and it's a good and sufficient architecture.  Trying to poll sockets on the main thread is IMO an unnecessary overkill.  There is no rational for the bug outlined here, nor I have found it in any notes from SC.
