BREAK CHANGE: [sqlx_core::net::socket::connect_tcp]. New parameter added.

Add TCP keepalive configuration which could be enabled by [PgConnectOptions::tcp_keep_alive] and [MySqlConnectOptions::tcp_keep_alive].

I thought you might still appreciate an external review ^^

https://docs.rs/socket2/latest/socket2/struct.TcpKeepalive.html

I think we should use the builder pattern too and copy the platform support of socket2 given that this is explicitly done in their case.

Also adding documentation via docstrings is really helpful => copying their docs is likely fine.

Likely we should make this Copy too.

Thank you for giving me a review!
That's reasonable, or we might have to maintain the consistency between TcpKeepalive defined in socket2 and in sqlx_core.
Should I re-export TcpKeepalive definition in socket2?

Current code is a build failour on the following platforms (assuming one tries to use the code):

any(
    target_os = "openbsd",
    target_os = "redox",
    target_os = "solaris",
    target_os = "nto",
    target_os = "espidf",
    target_os = "vita",
    target_os = "haiku",
)

Please use the same platform cfg scoping as the new dependency.

pub async fn connect_tcp<Ws: WithSocket>(
host: &str,
port: u16,
with_socket: Ws,
keepalive: &Option<TcpKeepalive>,

Suggested change
keepalive: &Option<TcpKeepalive>,
keepalive: Option<&TcpKeepalive>,

Would this not be a better API?
https://users.rust-lang.org/t/api-design-option-t-vs-option-t/34139/2

Given that socket2::TcpKeepalive is Copy, I think copying that derive and dropping the reference might be more ergonomic. What do you think?

I didn't notice that TcpKeepalive in socket2 is Copy.
I will adjust it. Thx.

I didn't notice the API design preference in Rust. Thank you for pointing this out for me!

Should I re-export TcpKeepalive in socket2 or give a definition on our own?

`TcpKeepalive`.
fix: `connect_tcp` API design.

If we want to encapsulate instead of using socket2::TcpKeepalive in the public api (that is something that @abonander should decide), we should use a newtype wrapper instead of just copying the other code.

Suggested change
pub struct TcpKeepalive {
pub time: Option<Duration>,
pub interval: Option<Duration>,
pub retries: Option<u32>,
}
pub struct TcpKeepalive(socket2::TcpKeepalive)

That's a good idea. But socket2::TcpKeepalive is not Copy (Sorry I made a mistake before).
So doing so we won't have Copy trait.

Interesting. I don't know how I came up with the idea that it does. Must have misread a part of the code.

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about using a bespoke struct here.

These builder methods could just be directly on the ConnectOptions structs.

I suppose being able to define TcpKeepalive separately in a const could be nice for reusability, but at the same time, having to import and build a separate type would also be a little annoying if you only use it once.

I think maybe because interval and retries aren't supported on all platforms, we should only expose the tcp_keepalive_time() on the ConnectOptions builders. We can always add the others later.

These fields should also be #[doc(hidden)] or just private.

After some thought, I'm not entirely sure how much value this actually has.

As I worked out in estuary/flow#1676 (comment), keepalive likely won't solve the original reporter's problem.

It could be useful for other reasons, such as keeping connections from timing out, or catching when a server disconnected abruptly without sending a FIN packet.

However, because the connection state is managed directly, we won't see a keepalive timeout until the next time we try to read from or write to the socket, at which point we're already trying to use it anyway.

I suppose that's still preferable to it hanging forever on a read that will never complete, though.

tcp_keepalive.rs and update related code

- Moved the TCP keepalive type definition from
  `mod.rs` to new source file `tcp_keepalive.rs`
- Modified method `tcp_keep_alive` to `tcp_keepalive_time`
  in `MySqlConnectOptions` and `PgConnectOptions`
- Updated `socket2` dependency in `sqlx-core` to
  enable feature `all`.
