gg: Protect against issues when closing while connecting
Since the GIOStream is cancelled when data is freed, any cancelled
callbacks are called after such data is freed. This patch guards against
cancelled calls by safely returning without accessing any freed data if
the connection has been cancelled (aka closed).
Futhermore, if GG tries to connect and is quickly disconnected,
ggp_tcpsocket_close() is never called. As far as I can tell, it's an
existing bug, but PurpleSockets both work differently when closing and
are closed by the connection if any leak. So the issue wasn't a major
problem. This patch lessens the issue by guarding against it, but it
should be fixed at some point.
