Improving error handling - panics vs. proper errors

Before we move on to parsing more of our raw packets, I want to take some time to improve our error handling strategy.

Currently, the ersatz codebase contains a mix of Result<T, E>, and some methods that panic, like unwrap() and expect().

We also have a custom Error enum that lets us return rawsock errors, IO errors, or Win32 errors:

pub enum  
    Rawsockrawsock
    IOstdio
    Win32
