This function is called when the user has requested MPTCP via
SetMultipathTCP in the Dialer.
This new function falls back to dialTCP on operating systems that do not
support MPTCP or if MPTCP is not supported.
On Dialer side, MultipathTCP function can be used to know if the package
will try to use MPTCP or not when Dial is called.
Note that this new dialMPTCP function returns a TCPConn object, like
dialTCP. A new MPTCPConn object using the following composition could
have been returned:
type MPTCPConn struct {
*TCPConn
}
But the drawback is that if MPTCP is used by default one day (see #56539
issue on GitHub), Dial will return a different object: this new
MPTCPConn type instead of the previously expected TCPConn. This can
cause issues for apps checking the returned object.
This work has been co-developped by Gregory Detal
<gregory.detal@tessares.net>.
