    Do not allow stream socket retries in libkrad
    
    Before this patch, libkrad would follow the same exact logic for all
    socket types when the retries parameter was non-zero.  This meant that
    when connecting with SOCK_STREAM, multiple requests were sent in case
    of packet drops, which, of course, cannot happen for SOCK_STREAM.
    
    Instead, just disable retries for SOCK_STREAM sockets.
