active-mode socket message) until the next event or timer tick

 - Fixed ESP32 socket driver holding the global socket-list lock across blocking TCP connects, leaking the port on connect failure, losing concurrent `accept` waiters, leaking `netbuf` on receive error paths, and a recycled-`netconn` race between socket close and the event handler
