[Bug 1671418] [NEW] Builtin socks support broken

[janl]

Public bug reported:

I have ssh doing socks proxying

  Host socks
        User janl
        HostName hjemme.langfeldt.net
        DynamicForward localhost:1080

Then I configure konversation to use this: Settings menu / Configure Konversation / Connection:
- Enable proxy
- Type: Socks v5
- Address: 127.0.0.1 (or localhost)
- Port: 1080

When connecting all I see is this:

  [11:26] [Info] Looking for server irc.*.org (port 6667)...
  [11:26] [Info] Server found, connecting...

and then it hangs.

If I start it with "tsocks konversation" it works.
