RFR(s): 8228580: DnsClient TCP socket timeout

[Pavel Rappo]

I think we are almost there. What do you think of the following incremental (i.e. on top of your latest webrev) change?

I fixed a couple of trivial typos and addressed the socket relinquishing issue. Initializing a socket is not an atomic "all-or-nothing" operation now. Someone needs to take care of the socket in case things go not as planned.
