Commit aec21d3175 (qapi: Add InetSocketAddress member keep-alive)
introduces the keep-alive flag, which enables the SO_KEEPALIVE socket
option, but only on client-side sockets. However, this option is also
useful for server-side sockets, so they can check if a client is still
reachable or drop the connection otherwise.
This patch enables the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option on passive server-side
sockets if the keep-alive flag is enabled. This socket option is then
inherited by active server-side sockets communicating with connected
clients.
This patch also fixes an issue in 'qio_dns_resolver_lookup_sync_inet()'
where the keep-alive flag is not copied together with other attributes.
