Currently, to implement cancellability correctly, all synchronous
calls to GSocket must be preceded by a g_socket_condition_wait() call,
(even though GSocket does this internally as well) and all
asynchronous calls must do occasional manual
g_cancellable_is_cancelled() checks. Since it's trivial to do these
checks inside GSocket instead, and we don't particularly want to
encourage people to use the APIs non-cancellably, move the
cancellation support into GSocket and simplify the existing callers.

Previously we saved the location in various places which is unnecessary
and sometimes even wrong. For instance, we saved the address we bound to
which may not have the final port set.
