socket timeout confusion

Description
MAKE-SOCKET accepts timeout keyword arguments (:INPUT-TIMEOUT, :OUTPUT-TIMEOUT, and :CONNECT-TIMEOUT); non-null values of these arguments are supposed to be nonnegative REALs (according to the documentation) specifying time in seconds. (
Lower-level code (PROCESS-INPUT-WAIT, PROCESS-OUPUT-WAIT) takes optional timeout arguments which are required to be integers specifying time in milliseconds.
MAKE-SOCKET seems to just pass its timeout arguments unmodified to the lower-level code. Wackiness ensues (in the formm of type-errors). See ticket:1242.
I don't know whether this bug was newly introduced or if it's been present for a long time.

(In [16332]) Check and convert I/O timeouts in init-stream-ioblock.
Also check the connect timeout in make-tcp-socket.
Note that ioblock I/O timeouts are expressed in milliseconds, whereas higher-level I/O timeouts are in (possibly fractional) seconds.
Closes ticket:1247 and ticket:1242.
