[Twisted-Python] Proposal: changes to reactor.clientTCP

Background:
Ivo pointed out there's no way to differentiate between "no such
hostname" and "connection refused". For that matter, connectionFailed
has nothing to do with the protocol - why are we doing a callback on the
protocol at all? It shouldn't be created if no connection was made.
Proposal:
reactor.clientTCP accepts a protocol factory instead of a protocol, and
only makes a protocol instance if connection was made. Additionally, it
accepts an additional argument, failureCallback, which will get called
with a status code (CONNECTION_REFUSED, NO_SUCH_HOSTNAME) or something
when the connection fails. Protocol.connectionFailed goes bye-bye.
Comments?
