Fix memory leak on Socket_new()

There is a memory leak on Socket_new(). The leak is caused by the lost of a
reference to result pointer, returned from getaddrinfo(3). The freeaddrinfo(3)
requires a pointer to the first result's element. However, this reference is
lost when replaced by res.

The Valgrind's memory leak report:

Keeping the result pointer unchanged, pointing to the first element. And
updating the res pointer only, we get a clean report from Valgrind:
