Comment (by sbs):

 I was also wondering:

 1. assuming that `tor_socket_t` is similar to `evutil_socket_t`, whether
 we can pass a socket on Windows to obtain the same effect

 2. if this function to set an owning socket is thread safe (I don't know
 enough on Tor internals to say whether it's obviously thread safe or not)
