std: make address resolution weirdness local to SGX
Currently, the implementations of `TcpStream::connect` and its cousins take an `io::Result<&SocketAddr>` as argument, which is very weird, as most of them then `?`-try the result immediately to access the actual address. This weirdness is however necessitated by a peculiarity of the SGX networking implementation:
SGX doesn't support DNS resolution but rather accepts hostnames in the same place as socket addresses. So, to make e.g.
```rust
TcpStream::connect("example.com:80")`
```
work, the DNS lookup returns a special error (`NonIpSockAddr`) instead, which contains the hostname being looked up. When `.to_socket_addrs()` fails, the `each_addr` function used to select an address will pass the error to the inner `TcpStream::connect` implementation, which in SGX's case will inspect the error and try recover the hostname from it. If
that succeeds, it continues with the found hostname.
This is pretty obviously a terrible hack and leads to buggy code (for instance, when users use the result of `.to_socket_addrs()` in their own `ToSocketAddrs` implementation to select from a list of possible URLs, the only URL used will be that of the last item tried). Still, without changes to the SGX usercall ABI, it cannot be avoided.
Therefore, this PR aims to minimise the impact of that weirdness and remove it from all non-SGX platforms. The inner `TcpStream::connect`, et al. functions now receive the `ToSocketAddrs` type directly and call `each_addr` (which is moved to `sys::net::connection`) themselves. On SGX, the implementation uses a special `each_addr` which contains the whole pass-hostname-through-error hack.
As well as making the code cleaner, this also opens up the possibility of reusing newly created sockets even if a connection request fails – but I've left that for another PR.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
