Connect the socket to the specified remote address.
For connection oriented socket this generally means we attempt to make
a connection to the @address. For a connection-less socket it sets
the default address for g_socket_send() and discards all incoming datagrams
from other sources.
Generally connection oriented sockets can only connect once, but
connection-less sockets can connect multiple times to change the
default address.
If the connect call needs to do network I/O it will block, unless
non-blocking I/O is enabled. Then %G_IO_ERROR_PENDING is returned
and the user can be notified of the connection finishing by waiting
for the G_IO_OUT condition. The result of the connection must then be
checked with g_socket_check_connect_result().
