david 9cd1ef697b Update nsock_tod before creating a timer.
nsock_tod is Nsock's idea of the current time. It is updated when an
nsock_pool is initialized, on each iteration of nsock_loop, and in a few
other places. What could go wrong, with respect to timers, is a sequence
like this:
	nsp_new
	[... some long delay ...]
	nsock_create_timer(timeout)
	nsock_loop
The time elapsed after the creatino of the timer until it fires would
not be timeout, but rather timeout - delay. If the delay was long
enough, the timer would fire as loop as nsock_loop was entered.

This showed itself in IPv6 OS detection. We schedule 6 timers
immediately, 100 ms apart. If the pcap_open or anything else took too
long, then the timers would fire all at once. This messed up the
calculation of the TCP_ISR feature.

Perhaps we should do this when any new event is created? It is already
done manually at the beginning of each of the connect functions.
