Comment:

 Since I was looking over the SOCKS code again in relation to #12535, I
 went and wrote something that also implements "second thing".

 Similar approach taken to adam-p's branch, all errors in
 `SocksListener.AcceptSocks()` past the `ln.Listener.Accept()` call are
 returned as a `net.Error` that has a `Temporary()` that always returns
 `true`.

 Either version of the check will continue to work, since
 `ln.Listener.Accept()`'s errors are returned untouched, and if non-
 temporary, will cause the loop to terminate, as they should.  All other
 net.Errors will be re-wrapped since they are net.Errors generated from the
 new client connection, and have absolutely nothing to do with the
 listener.

 A defer in `SocksListener.AcceptSocks()` used since it's cleaner to do it
 that way, saving the need to splatter the wrapper all over the rest of the
 socks code.

 Note: My change depends on my #12535 branch, since modifying the SOCKS4a
 code is for people that are living in the past.
