Bug #65045 for IO: IO::Socket send croaks on send fail due to getpeername + performance issue

Due to the way IO::Socket uses getpeername a simple failed send can cause the call to croak instead of returning an error. The reason for this is that getpeername can fail if a previous connected tcp socket is reset by the peer. In this case the send should return with a failure code and $! should indicated the failure of ECONNRESET. In addition the current code calls getpeername for every single send call which is not required for connected sockets e.g. tcp. For large numbers of sends this extra kernel call could be quite a performance drain so it would be good to remove it and kill two birds with one stone.
