Creates a new GSocketConnectable for connecting to the given
hostname and port. May fail and return NULL in case
parsing host_and_port fails.
host_and_port may be in any of a number of recognised formats; an IPv6
address, an IPv4 address, or a domain name (in which case a DNS
lookup is performed). Quoting with [] is supported for all address
types. A port override may be specified in the usual way with a
colon.
If no port is specified in host_and_port then default_port will be
used as the port number to connect to.
In general, host_and_port is expected to be provided by the user
(allowing them to give the hostname, and a port override if necessary)
and default_port is expected to be provided by the application.
(The port component of host_and_port can also be specified as a
service name rather than as a numeric port, but this functionality
is deprecated, because it depends on the contents of /etc/services,
which is generally quite sparse on platforms other than Linux.)
