Solaris, (remember Solaris?) will return connection related errnos
on fd metadata operations such as ioctl(2), [gs]etsockopt(2) etc.

We propagated these errors up from VTC_(non)blocking() which could,
theoretically, bail out earlier than it would otherwise have done.
This complicated code far more than it speeded anything up.

Instead just ensure that any errors returned are indeed connection
related, and then ignore them, and let Solaris deal with the broken
connection same way as other operating systems.
