proto_connection_{send,recv} and change them to return proto_conn
structure. We don't operate directly on descriptors, but on
proto_conns.
- Add wrap method to wrap descriptor with proto_conn.
- Remove methods to send and receive descriptors and implement this
functionality as additional argument to send and receive methods.

If timeout argument to proto_connect() is -1, then the caller needs to use
this new function to wait for connection.
This change is in preparation for capsicum, where sandboxed worker wants
to ask main process to connect in worker's behalf and pass descriptor
to the worker. Because we don't want the main process to wait for the
connection, it will start async connection and pass descriptor to the
worker who will be responsible for waiting for the connection to finish.

secondary, which died between send(2) and recv(2). Do it by adding timeout
to recv(2) for primary incoming and outgoing sockets and secondary outgoing
socket.

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
