net: add autoSelectFamily option

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/ShogunPanda/happy-eyeballs into main

This PR loosely implements section 5 of RFC 8305 (Happy Eyeballs algorithm).

A new option autoSelectFamily is added to net.connect. When set to a positive number (or true), the lookup phase will keep all records by setting all=true. A connection attempt will be tried to all AAAA and A records (alternating families), in sequence, giving each connection autoSelectFamily milliseconds to be established. Errors are raised only if no connection succeeded.

Fixes #41625 (closed).
