enable SO_KEEPALIVE for connected TCP sockets
Sockets may never receive notification of some link errors, causing "git fetch" or similar processes to hang forever. Enabling keepalive messages allows hung processes to error out after a few minutes/hours depending on the keepalive settings of the system. This is a problem noticed when running non-interactive cronjobs to mirror repositories using "git fetch".
