Expose gonet.NewPacketConn, for parity with gonet.NewConn API

gonet.Conn can be created with both gonet.NewConn and gonet.Dial.
gonet.PacketConn was created only by gonet.DialUDP. This prevented
us from being able to use PacketConn in udp.NewForwarder() context.

This simple constructor - NewPacketConn, allows user to create
correct structure from that context.
