Fix a possible XMPP remote crash
A series of specially crafted file transfer requests can cause clients
to reference invalid memory. The user must have accepted one of the
file transfer requests.
The fix is to correctly cancel and free a SOCKS5 connection attempt so
that it does not trigger an attempt to access invalid memory later.
This was reported to us by Jos«± Valent«żn Guti«±rrez and this patch is
written by Paul Aurich.
