Attempts to create a TCP connection with a network URI.
uri may be any valid URI containing an "authority" (hostname/port)
component. If a port is not specified in the URI, default_port
will be used. TLS will be negotiated if #GSocketClient:tls is true.
(#GSocketClient does not know to automatically assume TLS for
certain URI schemes.)
Upon a successful connection, a new #GSocketConnection is constructed
and returned. The caller owns this new object and must drop their
reference to it when finished with it.
In the event of any failure (DNS error, service not found, no hosts
connectable) null is returned and error (if non-null) is set
accordingly.
This is a helper function for gio.socket_client.SocketClient.connect.

Using this rather than gio.socket_client.SocketClient.connect or gio.socket_client.SocketClient.connectToHost allows #GSocketClient to determine when to use application-specific proxy protocols.
