I wonder if we couldn't remove saving/restoring errno entirely from
my_sock_*. We didn't do so before 680513ab79 and I can't see a reason
why we'd need to now.
What I do find curious is that afaics before 680513ab79 the code also
looked at errno, not SOCK_ERRNO. And apparently things worked back then?
I guess the difference is that pgsecure_raw_read now unconditionally
does SOCK_ERRNO_SET(result_errno).
