I do not think we have any issues with connection-time errors;
or at least, if we do, the spots being touched here certainly
shouldn't need to worry about them. These places are dealing
with already-established connections.

Hmm, might be worth doing, but I'm not sure. I am worried about
whether compilers will generate equally good code that way.

Oh, I missed that. But:

In that case, nothing would have worked on Windows for the last
ten years, so you're mistaken. I think the actual explanation
why this works, and why that test in parallel.c probably still
works even with my mistake, is that win32_port.h makes sure that
our values of ECONNRESET etc match WSAECONNRESET etc.
IOW, we'd not actually need TranslateSocketError at all, except
that it maps some not-similarly-named error codes for conditions
that don't exist in Unix into ones that do. We probably do want
TranslateSocketError in this parallel.c test so that anything that
it maps to one of the errno_is_connection_loss codes will be
recognized; but the basic cases would work anyway, unless I
misunderstand this stuff entirely.
