I have been using http.Client with proxy connections and have noticed that a ton of
connections get stuck in SYN_SENT after a while. Eventually resulting in "too many
open files" errors which obviously causes serious problems.

To see this issue I have included a little example program [syn_stuck.go] that will open
a large number of HTTP connections via non-existant proxy, and then tell you to go check
"lsof". I've tried it on both OSX and Linux with same results.

After a bit of digging I believe the issue is with net/sock.go:56 .... when an
fd.connect() fails the socket is not closed. (patch attached). 

Running syn_stuck + lsof after the patch gives the expected result.

I created a CL ... but I can't see how I could write a test for this. If someone points
me in the right direction I will... but since socket() does not return anything testable
when the issue occurs I don't see how :/
