We maintain pools of ready-to-connect sockets in both the original and
(for pasta) guest namespace to reduce latency when starting new TCP
connections. If we exhaust those pools we have to take a higher
latency path to get a new socket.
Currently we open-code that fallback in the places we need it. To improve
clarity encapsulate that into helper functions. While we're at it, give
those helpers clearer error reporting.
