Frequently the user wants TCP.create_connection to fail quickly, or to try more persistently. The user has no control over this with the current API.

Hearing no objections, I'll implement this.

I'm wondering what the use case is exactly: are there different kind of TCP connections that need special treatment (i.e. a per-flow option), or should it be a global configuration option for the entire TCP stack (i.e. be able to set number of retransmissions and time delta between them) - which may depend on the location of the unikernel and its communication habits -- i.e. if it mostly does local connections, the time delta could be lowered?
