net: ensure net.connect calls Socket connect

It's important for people who monkey-patch `Socket.prototype.connect`
that it's called by `net.connect` since it's not possible to
monkey-patch `net.connect` directly (as the `connect` function is called
directly by other parts of `lib/net.js` instead of calling the
`exports.connect` function).

Among the actors who monkey-patch `Socket.prototype.connect` are most
APM vendors, the async-listener module and the
continuation-local-storage module.
