Expire socks connections if they spend too long waiting for the
handshake to finish. Previously we would let them sit around for days, if the connecting application didn't close them either. Also take this opportunity to refactor a duplicate bit of circuituse.c. And change the semantics of SocksTimeout slightly, but I think it'll be ok. svn:r9350
