+ *
+ * @param addrs The list of addresses to try to connect to.
+ * This list will be mutated internally, but the list head
+ * will remain as such, so this doesn't affect the caller
+ * freeing the list afterwards.
+ * @param timeout_ms_per_address The number of milliseconds to wait for each
+ * connection attempt. Since multiple addresses are tried,
+ * some of them in parallel, the total run time will at most
+ * be timeout_ms_per_address*ceil(nb_addrs/parallel) +
+ * (parallel - 1) * NEXT_ATTEMPT_DELAY_MS.
+ * @param parallel The maximum number of connections to attempt in parallel.
+ * This is limited to an internal maximum capacity.
+ * @param h URLContext providing interrupt check
+ * callback and logging context.
+ * @param fd If successful, the connected socket is returned here.
+ * @param customize_fd Function that will be called for each socket created,
+ * to allow the caller to set socket options before calling
+ * connect() on it, may be NULL.
+ * @param customize_ctx Context parameter passed to customize_fd.
+ * @return 0 on success, AVERROR on failure.
