This change fixes a bug in which specifying 0 for timeout-related options (such as the `timeout` option of `Addrinfo.getaddrinfo`) incorrectly results in an infinite wait.

* [Feature #21347] Add `open_timeout` as an overall timeout option for `TCPSocket.new`

With this change, `TCPSocket.new` now accepts the `open_timeout` option.
This option raises an exception if the specified number of seconds has elapsed since the start of the method call,
even if the operation is still in the middle of name resolution or connection attempts.

The addition of this option follows the same intent as the previously merged change to `Socket.tcp`.
[Feature #21347](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21347)
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/13368

* Tidy up: Extract rsock_raise_user_specified_timeout()

* Added a note to the documentation of `Socket.tcp`

* Fix `rsock_init_inetsock` for `FAST_FALLBACK_INIT_INETSOCK_IMPL`</content>

[Bug #21506] Fix timeout in Addrinfo.getaddrinfo to actually take effect

This change fixes an issue where the timeout option in `Addrinfo.getaddrinfo` was not functioning as expected.

It also addresses a related issue where specifying `fast_fallback: false` with `resolv_timeout` for `Socket.tcp` and`TCPSocket.new` would have no effect.

The timeout option was originally introduced in:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/6382f5cc91ac9e36776bc854632d9a1237250da7

However, the value was noy used in current implementation:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/3f0e0d5c8bf9046aee7f262a3f9a7524d51aaf3e/ext/socket/raddrinfo.c#L1282-1308

Therefore, even if a timeout is specified and the duration elapses during name resolution, nothing happens. This is clearly not the intended behavior.

`Addrinfo.getaddrinfo` has been made interruptible as of Feature #19965.
This change uses that feature to interrupt name resolution when the specified timeout period elapses, raising a user-specified timeout error.
The timeout can be specified in milliseconds.

The same issue affects `Socket.tcp` and `TCPSocket.new` when `resolv_timeout` is set along with `fast_fallback: false`.
`resolv_timeout` was introduced in the following commits:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/6382f5cc91ac9e36776bc854632d9a1237250da7
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/511fe23fa2bdf1f17faa91e0558be47b5bb62b2a

The reason is that with `fast_fallback: false`, these methods internally call the same `rsock_getaddrinfo()` as `Addrinfo.getaddrinfo`.
This change addresses that as well.</content>

* Do not save the last_error if there are no sockets waiting to be connected

In this implementation, the results of both name resolution and connection attempts are awaited using select(2).
When it returned, the implementation attempted to check for connections even if there were no sockets currently attempting to connect, treating the absence of connected sockets as a connection failure.
With this fix, it will no longer check for connections when there are no sockets waiting to be connected.

Additionally, the following minor fixes have been made:

* Handle failure of getsockopt(2) and removed unnecessary continue in the loop

* Tweak: Use common API to check in_progress_fds

* Safely call TCPServer.new in test

* Set empty writefds when there is no socket waiting to be connected

* Enable fast_fallback option</content>

<id>4c270200dbc2a3a4511e8b793a033078afd6fb31</id>
<content type='text'>
* Introduction of Happy Eyeballs Version 2 (RFC8305) in TCPSocket.new

This is an implementation of Happy Eyeballs version 2 (RFC 8305) in `TCPSocket.new`.
See https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/11653

1. Background
Prior to this implementation, I implemented Happy Eyeballs Version 2 (HEv2) for `Socket.tcp` in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9374.
HEv2 is an algorithm defined in [RFC 8305](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8305), aimed at improving network connectivity.
For more details on the specific cases that HEv2 helps, please refer to https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20108.

2. Proposal &amp; Outcome
This proposal implements the same HEv2 algorithm in `TCPSocket.new`.
Since `TCPSocket.new` is used more widely than `Socket.tcp`, this change is expected to broaden the impact of HEv2's benefits.
Like `Socket.tcp`, I have also added `fast_fallback` keyword argument to `TCPSocket.new`.
This option is set to true by default, enabling the HEv2 functionality.
However, users can explicitly set it to false to disable HEv2 and use the previous behavior of `TCPSocket.new`.

It should be noted that HEv2 is enabled only in environments where pthreads are available.
This specification follows the approach taken in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19965 , where name resolution can be interrupted.
(In environments where pthreads are not available, the `fast_fallback` option is ignored.)

3. Performance
Below is the benchmark of 100 requests to `www.ruby-lang.org` with the fast_fallback option set to true and false, respectively.
While there is a slight performance degradation when HEv2 is enabled, the degradation is smaller compared to that seen in `Socket.tcp`.

```
~/s/build ❯❯❯ ../install/bin/ruby ../ruby/test.rb
Rehearsal --------------------------------------------------------
fast_fallback: true    0.017588   0.097045   0.114633 (  1.460664)
fast_fallback: false   0.014033   0.078984   0.093017 (  1.413951)
----------------------------------------------- total: 0.207650sec

                           user     system      total        real
fast_fallback: true    0.020891   0.124054   0.144945 (  1.473816)
fast_fallback: false   0.018392   0.110852   0.129244 (  1.466014)
```

* Update debug prints

Co-authored-by: Nobuyoshi Nakada &lt;nobu.nakada@gmail.com&gt;

* Remove debug prints

* misc

* Disable HEv2 in Win

* Raise resolution error with hostname resolution

* Fix to handle errors

* Remove warnings

* Errors that do not need to be handled

* misc

* Improve doc

* Fix bug on cancellation

* Avoid EAI_ADDRFAMILY for resolving IPv6

* Follow upstream

* misc

* Refactor connection_attempt_fds management

- Introduced allocate_connection_attempt_fds and reallocate_connection_attempt_fds for improved memory allocation of connection_attempt_fds
- Added remove_connection_attempt_fd to resize connection_attempt_fds dynamically.
- Simplified the in_progress_fds function to only check the size of connection_attempt_fds.

* Rename do_pthread_create to raddrinfo_pthread_create to avoid conflicting
