socket_get_fd() fails with the error "socket_get_fd: too many
connections" if the given listen backlog value is not 1.
Not all callers set the backlog to 1. For example, commit
582d4210eb2f2ab5baac328fe4b479cd86da1647 ("qemu-nbd: Use SOMAXCONN for
socket listen() backlog") uses SOMAXCONN. This will always fail with in
socket_get_fd().
This patch calls listen(2) on the fd to update the backlog value. The
socket may already be in the listen state. I have tested that this works
on Linux 5.10 and macOS Catalina.
As a bonus this allows us to detect when the fd cannot listen. Now we'll
be able to catch unbound or connected fds in socket_listen().
Drop the num argument from socket_get_fd() since this function is also
called by socket_connect() where a listen backlog value does not make
sense.
