Reporting "Failed to connect socket" is essentially useless for a user
attempting to diagnose failure. It needs to include the target addres
details. Simiarly when failing to create a socket we should include the
socket family info, so the user understands what particular feature was
missing in their kernel build (IPv6, VSock in particular).
