Added a new GaimEventLoopUiOps item, input_get_error(). This function allows the UI to return the current error status on a socket/input. If the UI does not implement it (as Pidgin and gntgaim do not, since glib's handling of sockets is sane), it is just a wrapper around getsockopt(). Implemented or not, its return values should match those of getsockopt() with a level of SOL_SOCKET and an option of SO_ERROR. For curious souls, Adium will be using this to provide a working version of getsockopt(); the CoreFoundation CFSocket class which is used for socket read/write calls getsockopt() with SO_ERROR itself, thereby clearing the error flag [as documented in getsockopt()'s behavior], so depending upon it for determining if an error occurred leads to significant misbehavior.
