Summary: Make CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET accessible during perform

Initial Comment:
Make CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET accessible during curl_easy_perform.

The difference is that without this change, CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET is confusingly not set from the perspective of any CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION callback.

Note I'm not certain what the implication might be of removing the data->state.lastconnect setting line from the Curl_done function. Seemingly that choice was arbitrary, but I've left out changing that from my patch.

Message:
This is mainly useful if you're NOT using CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY. With
CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY this is fairly irrelevant.

But without CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, this change allows you to see the socket
in progress. In particular a HTTP request may be slow in getting a
response back, and you can now see the socket in use during that time.

Message:
It wasn't exactly arbitrary but the whole point of CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET has
been to extract the socket _after_ a compelted request, not getting it
during operations. In fact, libcurl may use more than one socket while in
progress an in this case you may also get a period in the beginning of the
request where there is no lastsocket assigned.

What's your use-case for wanting this info this early in the process? I'm
not shooting down the suggestion, just trying to get a better picture.
