Earle F. Philhower, III 76ed52c1b2 Update WiFiServer docs for ::write(all clients) (#6338)
Fixes #5116
Fixes #2743

The Arduino WiFiClient object allows sending the same packet to all
connected clients of a WiFiServer.  In their implementation it may make
sense, but on the 8266 with things like SSL it doesn't.

Update the docs to note that WiFiServer::write() is a no-op, and that
the app should use the WiFiCliebnt::write() on all connected clients as
appropriate.

Server Class
------------
Methods documented for the `Server Class <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerConstructor>`__ in `Arduino <https://github.com/arduino/Arduino>`__
1. `WiFiServer() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServer>`__
2. `begin() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerBegin>`__
3. `available() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerAvailable>`__
4. `write() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerWrite>`__
5. `print() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerPrint>`__
6. `println() <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiServerPrintln>`__
Methods and properties described further down are specific to ESP8266. They are not covered in `Arduino WiFi library <https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi>`__ documentation. Before they are fully documented please refer to information below.
write (write to all clients) not supported
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note that the ``write`` method on the ``WiFiServer`` object is not implemented and returns failure always. Use the returned
``WiFiClient`` object from the ``WiFiServer::available()`` method to communicate with individual clients. If you need to send
the exact same packets to a series of clients, your application must maintain a list of connected clients and iterate over them manually.
setNoDelay
~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: cpp
setNoDelay(nodelay)
With ``nodelay`` set to ``true``, this function will to disable `Nagle algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle%27s_algorithm>`__.
This algorithm is intended to reduce TCP/IP traffic of small packets sent over the network by combining a number of small outgoing messages, and sending them all at once. The downside of such approach is effectively delaying individual messages until a big enough packet is assembled.
*Example:*
.. code:: cpp
server.begin();
server.setNoDelay(true);
By default, ``nodelay`` value will depends on global ``WiFiClient::getDefaultNoDelay()`` (currently false by default).
However, a call to ``wiFiServer.setNoDelay()`` will override ``NoDelay`` for all new ``WiFiClient`` provided by the calling instance (``wiFiServer``).
Other Function Calls
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: cpp
bool hasClient ()
bool getNoDelay ()
virtual size_t write (const uint8_t *buf, size_t size)
uint8_t status ()
void close ()
void stop ()
Documentation for the above functions is not yet prepared.
For code samples please refer to separate section with `examples <server-examples.rst>`__ dedicated specifically to the Server Class.
