/*
 * Contains declaration of an API that allows asynchronous connection to a
 * socket with retries.
 *
 * The typical usage of this API is as such:
 *
 * 1. The client creates an asynchronous connector instance by calling
 *    async_socket_connector_new routine, supplying there address of the socket
 *    to connect, and a callback to invoke on connection events.
 * 2. The client then proceeds with calling async_socket_connector_connect that
 *    would initiate connection attempts.
 *
 * The main job on the client side falls on the client's callback routine that
 * serves the connection events. Once connection has been initiated, the connector
 * will invoke that callback to report current connection status.
 *
 * In general, there are three connection events passed to the callback:
 * 1. Success.
 * 2. Failure.
 * 3. Retry.
 *
 * Typically, when client's callback is called for a successful connection, the
 * client will pull connected socket's FD from the connector, and then this FD
 * will be used by the client for I/O on the connected socket.
 *
 * When client's callback is invoked with an error (ASIO_STATE_FAILED event), the
 * client has an opportunity to review the error (available in 'errno'), and
 * either abort the connection by returning ASIO_ACTION_ABORT, or schedule a retry
 * by returning ASIO_ACTION_RETRY from the callback. If client returns ASIO_ACTION_ABORT
 * from the callback, the connector will stop connection attempts, and will
 * self-destruct. If ASIO_ACTION_RETRY is returned from the callback, the connector
 * will retry connection attempt after timeout that was set by the caller in the
 * call to async_socket_connector_new routine.
 *
 * When client's callback is invoked with ASIO_STATE_RETRYING (indicating that
 * connector is about to retry a connection attempt), the client has an opportunity
 * to cancel further connection attempts by returning ASIO_ACTION_ABORT, or it
 * can allow another connection attempt by returning ASIO_ACTION_RETRY.
 *
 * Since it's hard to control lifespan of an object in asynchronous environment,
 * we make AsyncSocketConnector a referenced object, that will self-destruct when
 * its reference count drops to zero, indicating that the last client has
 * abandoned that object.

 *  cb, cb_opaque - Callback to invoke on connection events. This callback is
 *      required, and must not be NULL.
 *  looper - An optional (can be NULL) I/O looper to use for connection I/O. If
 *      this parameter is NULL, the connector will create its own looper.
 * Return:
 *  Initialized AsyncSocketConnector instance. Note that AsyncSocketConnector
 *  instance returned from this routine will be destroyed by the connector itself,
 *  when its work on connecting to the socket is completed. Typically, connector
 *  will destroy its descriptor after client's callback routine returns with a
 *  status other than ASIO_ACTION_RETRY.
