TCP Fast Open should be supported in client code directly, it's not enough
to have socket() supporting it. It's not up to socket() implementation.

Server-side is pretty simple, so to say "Python supports TCP_FASTOPEN"
there should be support implemented for each (or most) client libraries in
stdlib, such as almost every module in
http://docs.python.org/3/library/internet.html

Monkey-patching all these modules (or their connect() parts) is not very
clean way, I think.
