When connecting to a TCP destination by name, go's implicit resolution
behavior tries all available addresses until it finds one that works
(fallback), with a preference for IPv6 if possible (happy eyeballs).
This is better than our current behavior (pick one IPv4 address).

The Outline client doesn't rely on named destinations, but other
Shadowsocks clients do.

This is an alternative to #100.

This change has one key difference from the previous behavior: IP
validation is enforced after the connection is established, not before.
A hostile user cannot use this to send data to a private service, but
they might be able to detect the existence of that service based on
how long the server waits before closing the connection.

I'm worried about leaking private information.

Could you instead use the Dialer.Control() function instead, testing the address there and cancelling as needed?

Also, shouldn't we do that for UDP too?

Good idea. Done!

No, this doesn't apply to UDP.

Can you put the errors next to the IPs for readability?
