If connect() returns EINPROGRESS, then previously we would detect a
successful connection by the socket becoming selectable for writing,
and spot an unsuccessful one by an error code being returned on the
first attempt to read from it.
This isn't the right way to do it: the right way is to respond to the
initial writability notification by calling getsockopt(SO_ERROR) to
retrieve the error code (if any) from the completed connection
attempt. Doing it the old way had the problem that when the socket
became writable, we could sometimes already have written some of our
outgoing data to it before finding out that the connect attempt failed
- which meant we'd discard that data from the bufchain, and no longer
have it to send through a later successful connection to a different
candidate address.
