Patch fixing the return value in case of ENOENT none

Description Brice Goglin 2007-03-31 10:04:52 UTC 
Bug reported to the Debian BTS 6 months ago by Robert Millan, initially against gcalctool, tracked down to xtrans by Loic Minier.

The patch below makes SocketUNIXConnect return TRANS_CONNECT_FAILED instead of TRANS_TRY_CONNECT_AGAIN when the socket descriptor does not exist (for instance because a process still references an old stale socket). See the Debian report for an example.

Thanks,
Brice

Applied to master, with slight munging to account for the new abstract socket support.  Thanks!
