test: sock: Enable socket pair tests on Windows

Adds a helper struct `socket_pair` for constructing and connecting TCP
sockets, this replaces socketpair() which is not available on Windows.
Making the socket pair TCP sockets instead of Unix sockets, and
separating socket creation from socket connection also enables more
detailed tests to be added in the future.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes test code. It replaces Unix-only socketpair() with a cross-platform TCP loopback socket helper so the same socket tests can run on Windows. There is no change to production Bitcoin Core networking code, consensus logic, or wallet handling, so it does not affect live node security.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-portability improvement.
