On Windows the high level API should still use the link_socket object to
read and write packets. For this reason, even if dco_installed is true,
we still need to rely on the classic link_socket object.

Taking the ACK from Lev on 102, applying to 103 - which mostly has
"better wording".  I have tested this on the DCO test rig, and it's
fine with the change.

I wouldn't be surprised to see more work in this area for "we need to
be able to send packets to not-yet-authenticated remotes in p2p mode",
though... :-)

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
