I mainly put save_errno back into SOCK_ERRNO for greppability, I don't have any
strong opinions either way so I went with the latter suggestion. Attached v3
does the above change and passes the tests both with a broken and working
system CA pool. Unless objections from those with failing local envs I propose
this is pushed to close the open item.
