Description

Connections made through the `Socket::connect()` API will always use the libprocess-global SSL configuration made through the `LIBPROCESS_SSL_*` environment variables.

Libprocess users might want to override these options while still using the generic socket class.

Therefore we should provide a way to pass custom configuration to the `Socket::connect()` function.
