test: refactor to eliminate flaky test

This retains the key elements of test-child-process-fork-getconnections
(forks a child process, sends a bunch of sockets, uses getConnections()
to enumerate them) but contains some code to work around an apparent
intermittent bug that occurs on OS X where a socket seems to close
itself unexpectedly.

nodejs#2610 was opened for the bug that
was causing the problem in the first place.

PR-URL: nodejs#2609
Fixes: nodejs#1100
