[ruby/net-http] Remember if TCPSocket impl supports open_timeout

For open_timeout support detection, the previous implementation relied
on an ArgumentError being raised and then rescued. In Ruby, rescue is a
rather expensive operation and should be avoided when possible.

This patch reduces the number of begin-rescues by remembering if the
TCPSocket implementation supports open_timeout.
