Discussion

Creates a fresh non-blocking TCP socket, calls connect(2), and (for EINPROGRESS) registers an EV_WRITE event to resume the continuation when the kernel completes the handshake.

Throws

SocketError.socketCreationFailed(_:) if socket(2) fails; SocketError.connectionFailed(_:) if connect(2) fails with anything other than EINPROGRESS.
