Summary: socks4 socks5 don't use connect timeout.

Initial Comment:
Hi, my mail is kir_at_tehn.ru

try something like:
$ curl --connect-timeout 3 --socks5 'google.com:80'
'http://google.com'

There is no timeout handling code in the
ConnectPlease() function. Curl hang forever (40 min and
more...), if proxy does not respond on initial socks
request in handleSock5Proxy() or handleSock4Proxy().

Yes, this is a known flaw. I've now added a mention of it in
the KNOWN_BUGS document.

I don't have any SOCKS proxies to test against and I don't
particularly have any motivation to fix this myself. I will
of course appreciate if someone fixes this.
