No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

sk_new() on invocation; these functions become responsible for (eventually)
freeing it. The caller must not do anything with 'addr' after it's been passed
in. (Ick.)
Why:
A SOCKS5 crash appears to have been caused by overzealous freeing of
a SockAddr (ssh.c:1.257 [r2492]), which for proxied connections is
squirreled away long-term (and this can't easily be avoided).
It would have been nice to make a copy of the SockAddr, in case the caller has
a use for it, but one of the implementations (uxnet.c) hides a "struct
addrinfo" in there, and we have no defined way to duplicate those. (None of the
current callers _do_ have a further use for the SockAddr.)
As far as I can tell, everything _except_ proxying only needs addr for the
duration of the call, so sk_addr_free()s immediately. If I'm mistaken, it
should at least be easier to find the offending free()...

rest of PuTTY has of DNS resolution, so I've replaced them with something
more conventional. Sorry.
The new code has the advantage of working, of course.

and to convert to a string only on demand. This makes it possible to have
the string contain the error number if we don't recognise it.
