FD_SOCK: add timeout to create socket to peer
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-745
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-745
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Bela Ban
         Assigned To: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.6.3, 2.7


In FD_SOCK.setupPingSocket(), a new socket is created to the peer:

ping_sock=new Socket(dest.getIpAddress(), dest.getPort());

If the IP packets are discarded at the IP level (e.g. by a firewall), the TCP connection will not get established, but will not fail either ! 
SOLUTION: use a socket timeout
